Is Pharmacogenomics In Your Pharmacy’s Future?
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes can affect a person’s response to a drug. As its name indicates, it is a combination of pharmacology and genomics. Pharmacogenomics testing, also known as drug-gene testing, can identify what medications will be safe and effective for an individual, in an effort to improve treatment outcomes. Medication dosages can also be tailored based upon testing results.
