Compare and contrast drug tolerance with drug sensitization

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Repeated drug administration can result in reduced drug action (tolerance) or enhanced drug action (sensitization). Tolerance may represent increased drug clearance or reduced action at receptor sites. Drug sensitization is less common than is drug tolerance, and a single drug may show tolerance/sensitization for different effects.
