bah.
The level of the drug might be high.
BIG
Deal.
You know what else besides your medicine can change the level of butrans in your system?
Everything.
You know how we predict the right dose of drug?
We can't. Hi! I am a world leader in drug mathematical modeling and have looked into various drug predictive modeling
So, you go with a low dose of ANY NEW DRUG YOU EVER GOT OR WILL EVER GET and then see if it is ok and make adjustments.
