benefits of pharmacogenomics,better safe drugs, drug doses, advanced screening for disease, better vaccines, low healthcare cost

1. BENEFITS OF
PHARMACOGENOMICS
By
Saajida Sultaana Mahusook

2. ADVANCED POWERFUL MEDICINES
 More powerful and efficient medications, with this ability,
pharmaceutical companies will have the ability to create drugs
based on enzymes, RNA molecules and proteins associated
with particular diseases.
BETTER AND SAFER DRUGS
 Drugs that are safer to use and better the first time.
 Trial and error will be eliminated.
 Patients will be able to get the right drug the first time itself.

3. APPROPRIATE DRUG DOSES
 More accurate methods of determining a drug’s proper dose.
 The dosage of the drugs will be based on the genetics of the
individuals and not just based only on their weight, age or sex,
to the factors which doesn’t always lead to accurate dosage.
ADVANCED SCREENING FOR DISEASE
 Once a patient knows their genetic code for treatment, the
physicians will be able to make the proper environmental and
lifestyle changes to health, avoid or atleast alleviate the
severity of genetic diseases.

4. BETTER VACCINES
 Vaccines made up of genetic material (DNA or RNA) will have
all of the benefits of current vaccines without the current risks.
 These better vaccines shall activate the immune system, the
person will be resistant to infections.
DECREASE IN HEALTHCARE OVERALL COST
 Reduction in the number of failed drug trials, course of the
medicine intake, how the disease affects the body, adverse drug
reactions, the time taken for the drug to get approved, the
amount of medications a patient takes before finding the right
one and increase in the possible drug target range will help to
decrease healthcare costs.
