Clinical & Pharmacogenomics

Clinical pharmacology is the science of drugs and their clinical use also it is underpinned by the main science of pharmacology with an added focus on the application of pharmacological principles and quantitative methods in the real world, therefore clinical pharmacology is not specific to medicine. The purpose of pharmacogenitics analyses how the genetic makeup of an individual effects on human response to drugs. Pharmacogenomics aims to improve rational means to optimize drug therapy, with regard to the patient’s genotype to ensure maximum efficiency with minimal adverse effects.
