At Next Genomix Laboratories, we offer pharmacogenomics to physicians nationwide. Pharmacogenetics is the study of how a person’s genes affect their response to drugs, and by analyzing a patient’s genetic makeup, physicians can create personalized treatment plans. In this blog, we will explore the long-term benefits of pharmacogenomics, and for more information contact us today!
4 Long Term Benefits of Pharmacogenomics
4 Long Term Benefits of Pharmacogenomics
Individualized Medication
When a physician utilizes pharmacogenetic testing, they have the ability to prescribe medications based on each patient's genetic profile. When we understand how a patient's genes affect drug metabolism and response, physicians can develop an individualized treatment plan that has fewer side effects, making them more effective.
Proper Dosing
Utilizing pharmacogenomics can also assist physicians in determining the proper dosage for each patient's medication. Analyzing a patient's genes can help physicians understand patients' response to medication and adjust it if needed.
Tailored Prescriptions
Clinics nationwide can also use pharmacogenetic testing to tailor patients' prescriptions to their specific needs. Analyzing the patient's genes can determine which medication will be the most effective and which will cause a reaction.
Personalized Medical Care
When doctor's offices choose to use pharmacogenomics, they offer patients personalized medical care. By analyzing a patient's drug metabolism, we can create a more effective treatment plan with fewer side effects. Taking the time to understand each patient's specific genes and prescribe a drug based on the analysis will show patients that their health matters.
Pharmacogenomics has several long-term benefits that physicians and patients can benefit from. From individualized medication to proper dosing, when you work with Next Genomix Laboratories your clinic will receive comprehensive pharmacogenetic testing services to ensure that patients receive the personalized, effective medical care they deserve.
