A Lesson in Pharmacogenomics

Pharmacogenomics, known as the study of how human genes affect a person’s response to medication, blends pharmacology (the study of drugs) with genomics (the study of genes and their functions). This combination aids in the development of safe, effective medication therapy and doses that are tailored to each individual’s genetic makeup. Medicine is not “one size fits all,” and it is difficult to predict who may benefit from specific medicine, who will not respond, or who may experience adverse side effects.

Anti-Inflammatory Spices for Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis (PA) is a form of arthritis that affects some people that have the skin condition psoriasis – a condition resulting in red patches of skin topped with silvery scales. Joint pain, stiffness and swelling are the main symptoms of PA, and are caused by a hyperactive immune system that creates inflammation in the body. There is currently no cure for PA, so treatments focus on controlling symptoms and preventing damage to joints. Without treatments, PA may become disabling. Several medications can be used to decrease pain and inflammation, or there are procedures to reduce inflammation, such as steroid injections or joint replacement surgeries. However, before utilizing these measures, many people turn to natural remedies first. There are several spices that have been shown beneficial in psoriatic arthritis.

LTC Pharmacy Logistics

 

Long-term care (LTC) pharmacies serve the residents of nursing homes, assisted-living communities, extended-care communities, and retirement communities. LTC pharmacies operate differently than most traditional pharmacies. Usually, these pharmacies are “closed-door,” meaning that no patients walk-in to fill prescriptions. LTC pharmacy procedures go above and beyond many retail pharmacy processes, with core services including prescription processing, dispensing and delivery, medication management, return, reuse, and disposal of medications.

What Makes a Great Pharmacy Partner?

There are numerous factors that contribute to making a pharmacy an excellent partner. One of the most important factors is developing a diligent, compassionate, and competent staff. A staff with these qualities can offer consultations in medication and proper administration which work towards solutions with chronic health issues. These solutions can help to provide affordable alternatives to generic brands and other options available. Additionally, a great pharmacy offers both education and access regarding convenient vaccinations. These pharmacies will also provide assistance in understanding and choosing pill dispensers and bottles, with several options related to easy-to-open containers and special packaging.
