Pharmacists May Help Improve Medication Safety with Pharmacogenomics (PGx)

How PGx Works

Pharmacogenomics, or PGx, uses the patient’s DNA to provide insight into how they may respond to certain medications based on their unique genetic makeup. 

The PREPARE Study published in the LANCET journal shows a 30% reduction in clinically relevant adverse drug reactions with PGx-directed medications

See the PREPARE Study

The Pharmacist’s Role in PGx

Successful PGx programs often include clinical pharmacists who may interpret results, advise physicians and patients, and provide medication recommendations. Pharmacists in certain states, as well as those with Collaborative Practice Agreements (CPA) in place, can order PGx tests for appropriate patients.
