Pharmacogenomics in Older Adults
Nearly 400 FDA approved medications include pharmacogenomic information in their drug labeling, and greater than 90% of the population has a clinically actionable pharmacogenomic variant that can impact their medication outcomes. This continuing education webinar will identify medications used in older adults with data supporting the use of pharmacogenomic guided prescribing recommendations. Clinical pharmacogenomic practice guidelines will be reviewed and patient cases will be presented to demonstrate how pharmacogenomic data can help individualize pharmacotherapy in older adults.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this application-based activity, participants should be able to:
- Identify medications commonly prescribed to older adults that have pharmacogenomic data in their drug labeling and clinical pharmacogenomics practice guidelines
- Analyze the relationships between genes and drugs commonly prescribed to older adults
- Apply the pharmacogenomic guided therapeutic recommendations outlined by clinical practice guidelines for medications used in older adults
Target Audience
Senior Care Pharmacists who provide expert advice on the use of medications to individuals and older adults and are committed to providing person-centered care, considering the complex interrelationships between disease states, nutrition, medications, and other variables.
