Women in comparison to men have lower bodyweight and organ size, more body fat, different gastric motility and lower glomerular filtration rate. These differences can affect the way the body deals with drugs by altering the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drugs including drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. Gender plays a role in the effect on ADRs.
