    Not that I would know, but don’t all medications build up tolerance?

    Like, I was under the impression that medicinal benefits are like a side-effect to what the body might otherwise consider a foreign pathogen. Does acetaminophen not trigger any immune response?

      With some exceptions for medications that use the immune system to target therapy (such as monoclonal antibodies) or drugs that target the immune system specifically, there is no immune response to most medications.
