Ethnic Differences in Cardiovascular Drug Response & Pharmacogenetics by Julie A. Johnson, PharmD
In the early 1980s, clinical differences in response to the blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects of β-blockers and, to a lesser extent, diuretics were noted between ethnic groups. The most convincing evidence at that time came from a Veterans Affairs (VA) Cooperative Trial,1 which, along with other smaller studies, suggested that whites (those of European ancestry)Continue reading “Ethnic Differences in Cardiovascular Drug Response & Pharmacogenetics by Julie A.

How do we metabolize pain medications?
What role does genetics have in pain? Research shows that genetic factors account for a substantial proportion of all elements contributing to a patient’s response to drugs (others include age, sex, weight, general health and liver function). Genes provide your body with instructions for making enzymes, which help break down drugs in your system, allowingContinue reading “How do we metabolize pain medications?”
Pharmacogenetics and pain management by Maria Chianta and Maria Guevara PharmDs
Chronic pain affects approximately 100 million U.S. adults at a cost of up to $635 billion annually in direct medical costs and lost productivity. As clinicians attempt to reduce pain and improve functionality in patients with chronic pain, pharmacotherapy remains a cornerstone of treatment. Typically, several medications with different mechanisms of action are employed toContinue reading “Pharmacogenetics and pain management by Maria Chianta and Maria Guevara PharmDs”
Statins and pharmacogenetic test to lessen side effects
LONDON, Ontario— Strikingly wide variation among patients in plasma levels of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin (Crestor, AstraZeneca), even with consistent dosing, is likely related to gene variants that affect the drugs’ uptake by the liver in some patients, suggests a prospective study[1]. The researchers propose that selective screening of some statin candidates for the presence ofContinue reading “Statins and pharmacogenetic test to lessen side effects”
