This Week is All About “Preventing Side Effects”
In today’s drug therapy (one-fits-all), genetic differences between patients are usually not taken into account. As a result, it is often the case that one and the same medication may work for one patient but be ineffective or associated with severe side effects in another. Reporting concomitant symptoms and prescribing appropriate medication in the correct dosage is crucial for progress in healthcare.
How PGXperts Contributes to Preventing Side Effects
In this context, PGXperts plays a central role. As an innovative MedTech company based in Fürth, we specialize in using pharmacogenetics to review drug therapy safety.
Our PGXperts system provides physicians with evidence-based knowledge about the interactions between medications and a patient’s genetic characteristics. This enables a comprehensive analysis of medication, taking into account specific interaction risks, including interactions between medications, genetic characteristics, and food.
With this information, PGXperts provides healthcare professionals with information on clinical consequences and guidance on adjusting the medication. Our goal is to support physicians in tailoring medication selection and dosage to the genetic makeup of their patients. This brings us one step closer to safer and more effective patient care.
