Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC)

The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) is an organization that creates guidelines to help healthcare providers use genetic information to improve medication safety and effectiveness. By understanding how a person’s genes affect their response to drugs, doctors can make more informed decisions about which medications to prescribe, and at what doses. This personalized approach aims to reduce adverse drug reactions and enhance treatment outcomes, ultimately leading to better healthcare tailored to individual needs. CPIC works with researchers and clinicians to ensure these guidelines are based on the latest scientific evidence.
