Pharmacogenetics, Kinetics, and Dynamics for Personalized Medicine provides a primer to understand pharmacogenetics (the study of genetic factors that influence how a drug works) in the applied context of pharmacokinetics (how the body handles a drug) and pharmacodynamics (the effects of a drug on the body). This valuable foundation illuminates how these principles and scientific advances can create optimal individual patient care, that is, "personalized medicine." Through specific drug examples, this resource explores how the genetic constitution of an individual may lead to the need for an altered dose or in some cases alternative drug therapy. Real-world cases highlight the specific relationships between genetics, drug action, and the body's response as well as adverse drug reactions, altered metabolism, and drug efficacy. Ethical issues concerning pharmacogenomics and study design are also discussed in this concise overview.
"Pharmacogenomics: Foundations, Competencies, and the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process provides a basic and clinical foundation for the application of drug-gene interactions in clinical therapeutics. As the field of PGx advances, there is a need for a pharmacy-based, directed resource that can be a reference for practicing pharmacists and student pharmacists. Specific information is presented through "PGx Pearls." Each of the 17 cases are presented in the context of the PPCP, with "Competency Connections" related to genetics and genomics. Each chapter provides content and objective related questions with the answers provided"--Publisher's website.
