Improving Clinical Outcomes by Looking at Individual Response to Drug Therapies
By Jeff Briggs
Pharmacogenomics — prescribing medications based on a person’s genomic information — is one area of precision medicine that can offer an immediate impact on improving a patient’s care. People metabolize different drugs at different rates, some faster, some slower. On occasion, a specific drug may have devastating consequences to a patient. Pharmacogenomics, or PGx as we […]
