Detailed explanation-1: -If your body has developed a tolerance to a medication you’re taking, it means the medication at your current dose has stopped working as effectively as it once did. It might mean your body becomes used to the medication, and you don’t get the same benefits or effects as before.
Detailed explanation-2: -An example of drug tolerance would be someone taking a prescription drug, such as an opioid painkiller, that produces a pleasurable “high” when taken in large doses. Over time, as that person continues taking the prescription drug, the high that is produced will slowly decrease.
