Medication(s) or drug(s) responses may be easy to understand if you have had a bad reaction to a medication. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), antibiotics cause some of the highest cases of adverse drug events (ADEs), responsible for 16% of emergency department (ED) visits and accounting for 200,000 ED visits annually (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023). One of the goals of pharmacogenomics is to identify individuals at a higher risk of ADE based on their genetic makeup and find safer alternatives. Pharmacogenomics can guide clinicians to choose safer medications for the individuals and thus prevent ADEs (Swen, van der Wouden, Manson, et al., 2023).
