Pharmacogenomic (PGx)
Pharma GenLabs has an approved Z Code
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect a person’s response to drugs. This field combines pharmacology (the science of drugs) and genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to develop effective, safe medications that can be prescribed based on a person’s genetic makeup.
Pharmacogenetics
Pharmacogenomics, the study of how genes affect individual responses to medications, offers significant health benefits. By tailoring drug therapies based on genetic profiles, it enhances treatment efficacy and minimizes adverse drug effects, which are a leading cause of mortality in the U.S. Understanding genetic variations allows healthcare providers to prescribe the right medications at the right doses, reducing trial-and-error prescribing. This personalized approach not only improves patient outcomes but also decreases hospitalizations and healthcare costs associated with adverse reactions. Ultimately, pharmacogenomics promotes safer, more effective treatments, contributing to better overall health and well-being.
