Pharmacogenomics in Clinical Therapeutics [EPUB ebook] 

Pharmacogenomics is the basis of personalized medicine which will
be the medicine of the future. Through both reducing the numbers of
adverse drug reactions and improving the use of existing drugs in
targeted populations, pharmacogenomics represents a real advance on
traditional therapeutic drug monitoring.

Pharmacogenomics in Clinical Therapeutics provides an
introduction to the principles of pharmacogenomics before
addressing the pharmacogenomic aspects of key therapeutic areas
such as warfarin therapy, cancer chemotherapy, therapy with
immunosuppressants, antiretroviral therapy, and psychoactive drugs.
It also includes methods of pharmacogenomic testing and the
pharmacogenomic aspects of drug-drug interactions.

From a team of expert contributors, Pharmacogenomics in
Clinical Therapeutics is a comprehensive overview of the
current state of pharmacogenomics in pharmacotherapy for all
clinicians, pharmacologists and clinical laboratory professionals.
It is also a guide for practicing clinicians and health care
professionals to the basic principles of pharmacogenomics,
laboratory tests currently available to aid clinicians, and the
future promise of this developing field.
