A Valuable Insight Impact of Pharmacist in Pharmacogenomics
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Pharmacy - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Pharmacogenomics is the study of genetic variations that influence individual response to drugs. Knowing whether a patient carries any of these genetic variations can help prescribers individualize drug therapy, decrease the chance for adverse drug events and increase the effectiveness of drugs. Pharmacist must be aware with the new technologies so as to take advantage of these new opportunities for the benefit of patients. Pharmacist must further develop a process to effectively deliver pharmacogenomics services to individual patients that are aligned with medication therapy management (MTM) service delivery, develop a viable business model for these practices and encourage the development of health information technology solutions that support the pharmacist’s role in this emerging field. The purpose of article is to highlight the recent development in pharmacogenetics in which pharmacists may play a vital role in the context of pharmacogenetics study approaches and factors to consider when applying pharmacogenetics discoveries to patient care. Keywords:Pharmacogenomics, Pharmacogenetics, Pharmacist, MTM, TDM and NCHPEG.
