Precision Medicine and AI-Powered Drug Dosing

Precision medicine is reshaping pharmacy practice by enabling individualized treatment plans based on a patient’s genetic profile, biomarkers, and lifestyle. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in analyzing patient-specific data to recommend optimal drugs and dosing regimens.

How Pharmacists Contribute:

• Pharmacogenomics interpretation to predict adverse effects and efficacy.

• Adjusting doses in real time based on AI-driven clinical recommendations.

• Ensuring safer, targeted treatments with minimal trial-and-error.

Real-World AI Applications in Drug Dosing:

• Warfarin and clopidogrel dosing using genetic markers (CYP2C9, VKORC1).

• AI software that predicts drug metabolism rates.

• Machine learning models that suggest dose titration paths in oncology or nephrology patients.

FAQs
