In this Healthed lecture, Dr Rebecca Purvis discusses how this pharmacogenomics testing, available now, can be useful in identifying specific variants in genes that affect responses to commonly prescribed medications. She also outlines how this knowledge can help ensure that the right medications in the right doses are prescribed for the right patients, improving the likelihood of effectiveness and reducing the risk of side effects.
