In this way, it is higher than in men.  <!--more-->The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withdrew 8 out of 10 medications from the market. These posed greater health risks for women than for men. <\/p>\n<h4><strong>Antidepressants<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Certain antidepressants work better in women because their blood has a lower binding capacity (their hemoproteins absorb fewer foreign substances).<\/li>\n<li>The female stomach is less acidic than the male stomach: SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are absorbed quickly, increasing their toxicity.<\/li>\n<li>The higher percentage of body fat in women increases their body\u2019s ability to retain antidepressants for longer periods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Hypnotics<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Men break down zolpidem (a type of hypnotic) and other sleep inducers more easily. By contrast, women retain a greater amount of these medications in the liver. This means it can affect them more throughout the day.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Antipsychotics<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>First-generation antipsychotics such as haloperidol appear to be more effective in women than in men. Women need higher doses to achieve the same results. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Anticonvulsants <\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The liver enzyme CYP3A4, which is especially active in women, makes these medications less effective than in men.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Painkillers<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Opioid painkillers are more effective in women due to fluctuations in oestrogen, which affect pain sensitivity.<\/li>\n<li>Overdoses are more common in men than in women.<\/li>\n<li>Women are more likely to relapse into addiction and find it harder to \u201cquit\u201d, due to low blood glucose levels during certain periods of the menstrual cycle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">How to quit drugs<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">The <a style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" href=\"https:\/\/ccadicciones.es\/en\/\"><span style=\"color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\">CCAdicciones<\/span><\/a> model maintains a high recovery rate, well above the average of other treatments, with 86% of patients recovered.
