Abstract

Pharmacogenomics does not only bring the connection of genes,medicines and diseases,but also become a powerful tool for clinical pharmacists.Pharmacogenomics is commonly used in clinical practice,especially in the implementation of genetic-test results for guiding rational use of medicines.The genotyping results of genes can provide good individualized medication guidance for patients,which can be confirmed by clinical use of the clopidogrel and warfarin.As a member of the clinical treatment team,clinical pharmacists should take advantage of pharmaceutical and pharmacogenomics information to promote rational use of medicines.
