So it's a focused question, focused answer. But there is a time delay and for many prescribing decisions the clinician does not want to be saying I'm about to prescribe but I'll, we'll put that on hold. So, professor Graeme southers, thank you very much.
Ever wondered why the same medication works wonders for one person but does nothing for another? In this episode of 'This Pathological Life', host Steve Davis teams up with Dr. Travis Brown to unravel the mysteries behind pharmacogenetics. They dive into the complexities of how our genes influence our responses to medications, making it clear that one size definitely doesn't fit all when it comes to prescriptions.
Special guest Professor Graeme Suthers, a leading expert in genetics, joins the discussion to shed light on how genetic variations can impact drug efficacy and safety. You'll hear about the challenges doctors face daily, from drug-to-drug interactions to the nuances of pharmacokinetics. Dr. Brown and Professor Suthers discuss the pros and cons of pharmacogenetic (Pgx) reports, which offer tailored guidance on medication choices using a traffic light system.
The conversation also emphasizes the importance of being proactive in managing adverse drug reactions, highlighting real-world applications and potential pitfalls. Whether you're a medical professional, a student, or someone curious about the future of personalized medicine, this episode offers valuable insights. With a blend of historical context and modern-day challenges, Steve Davis and his guests make complex topics accessible and engaging. Tune in to discover how pharmacogenetics is paving the way for more personalized and effective treatments.
