The future of pharmacy is changing...
Adverse drug responses are the fifth leading cause of death in the United States today. Traditionally, pharmacy has been very product-based, and it's giving patients the medication that doctors prescribe. However, over the past 20 years, the field of pharmacogenomics has developed, and now through pharmacogenomics, or PGx, we can understand how patients' unique genetic profile actually affects how medications work for each individual. Since genetic factors account for up to 95% of an individual's drug response, it's easy to see why medical prescribers will benefit from working with a private pharmacist specializing in PGx.
