Pharmacogenomics is the study of how your personal genetics affect how your body responds to medication. Your genetics explains in part why one person may respond to a medication and experience no side effects, while another many have no benefit or potentially experience severe or troublesome side effects. As a pharmacist, I offer pharmacogenomic testing via a three step process – virtually or over the telephone. Understanding your results will allow you along with your physician to select medications that are more likely to provide benefit and less likely to cause serious side effects.
