Your DNA can provide insight into how you metabolise, transport and bind certain prescription drugs, and can provide doctor's and pharmacists with information that may potentially reduce your risk of adverse effects and improve drug response significantly improving disease treatment.
Currently, most doctors base their drug prescription on symptoms and factors such as the patient’s age, weight, sex and organ functionality. However, for a large subset of drugs, genetic variations have been identified and research is available that indicates how a person with these genetic variations, is likely to respond to these drugs.
