Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes affect how a drug works and a person’s response to a particular drug.
It is a relatively new field that combines pharmacology (the study of how drugs work in the body) and genetics (the study genes and their functions) to develop safe and effective medication and dosages.

The goal of pharmacogenetics is to understand the part that a person's genetic make-up plays in how well a medicine works and what side effects are likely to occur in that person.

Understanding this can help us modify drugs best suited to a specific person in the future and predict how someone would react to a certain medicine prior to giving it.

This would allow us to:
• Develop more powerful drugs that will target specific health problems but reduce harm to healthy cells,
• Recommend safer drugs to use the first time based on an individual’s genetic profile and not on trial and error. This would reduce adverse drug reactions.
• Determine dosages more precisely instead of just based on body weight and age it would also be based on a person’s genetics.
