Q

What is Pharmacogenomics?

A

It describes the use of genetic information to guide the choice of drug therapy on an individual basis.
It also discovers which specific gene variations are associated with a good or poor therapeutic response to a particular drug

17
Q

What is Pharmacoeconomics?

A

It studies the cost effectiveness of drug treatment

18
Q

What is Ethnopharmacology?

A

It deals with the interethnic differences in response to or metabolism of chemical substances, and the presence or absence of enzymes in different regions of the Philippines or of different races

19
Q

What is Clinical Pharmacology?

A

It deals with rational development of drugs, their safe and effective use, and other proper evaluations of drugs for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, alleviation or cure of a disease
