Genome-wide association studies and candidate gene findings suggest that genetic approaches may help when choosing the most appropriate drug and dosage, while preventing adverse drug reactions.

Did you know? Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is one of the core elements of personalized medicine. PGx information reduces the likelihood of adverse drug reactions and optimizes therapeutic efficacy.

Genes, behaviors (such as exercise and eating habits), and environment are all factors that affect a patient's health.

Pharmacogenomics is a field of research that studies how a person’s genes affect how a person responds to medications. Its long-term goal is to help physicians select the drugs and doses best suited for each person. It is part of the field of precision medicine, which aims to treat each patient individually.

Personalized medicine holds the promise that treatments will one day be tailored to your genetic makeup
