Genetics
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur rapidly, requiring immediate medical intervention. Traditionally, epinephrine autoinjectors have been the standard of care for such emergencies. However, the recent approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a novel nasal spray, named neffy, marks a significant milestone in the management of anaphylactic reactions
Understanding Pharmacogenomics: The world of pharmacology is continually evolving, and one of the most exciting frontiers is Pharmacogenomics. Usually, we treat patients based on their clinical characteristics. But with pharmacogenomics, we take into consideration the genetic variability of drug metabolism and response within each person. This allows us to exactly treat what the patient is suffering from, and at the same time reduce some of the unwanted side effects in some cases.
