PharmGKB is a one-stop shop for everything related to the science of genetics and personalized medicine.
What is the value of the Pharm D Report and why is it worth a patient’s weight in gold? The Pharm D contains information that allows the patient’s doctor to specifically prescribe medication that will work for them. This means taking out all of the guess work, taking out all of the time lost during medication trial and error, and taking out the possibility of an adverse drug reaction which is responsible for the deaths of 100,000 people every year in the United States alone. The Granddaddy of all of this is the PharmGKB, the “Holy Grail” of the medical world and pharmacogenomics. This database is available to educate researchers, clinicians and other medical personnel and advises how genetic variation will impact a patient’s drug response. Heading into the 21st century, pharmacogenomics is only scratching the surface, with much, much more to come.
