That's not necessarily true.

Pharmacology is very different from cooking so drug dosages are not recipes, but based on individuals and their therapeutic needs.

Imagine if, in order to bake brownies, the ingredient list and amounts were tailored to the baker, their specific oven, their kitchen, the geographic location of their kitchen, etc. It would be really hard to trade recipes. What might be a tasty brownie recipe baked by you in your kitchen could be mud pies when baked by me in mine but there's no way to know unless you've studied the science of kitchen geography chemistry and even then it might still be off. That's pharmacology.

(I'm not coming down on you personally, just saying in general.)
