Pharmacometabonomics

Meaning

Pharmacometabonomics is a specialized field of personalized medicine that utilizes an individual’s unique metabolic profile, measured before a drug is administered, to predict the outcome of that drug intervention. This advanced methodology aims to forecast a patient’s likelihood of experiencing drug efficacy, toxicity, or a specific pharmacokinetic response. It is a powerful, predictive tool that complements traditional pharmacogenomics by accounting for both genetic and environmental influences on drug metabolism.
