The Use of Genetics in Guiding Therapy
PGx Biomarkers in Drug Labels
June 2012
Pharmacogenomics can play an important role in identifying responders and non-responders to medications, avoiding adverse events, and optimizing drug dose. Drug labels may contain information on genomic biomarkers and can describe for example: drug exposure and clinical response variability, risk for adverse events, genotype-specific dosing, mechanisms of drug action and polymorphic drug target and disposition genes.
