CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium)

The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) is an organization that develops guidelines to help doctors use genetic information to choose the safest and most effective medicines for individual patients. By understanding how a person’s genes affect drug responses, CPIC’s guidelines assist healthcare providers in customizing treatments, reducing the risk of side effects and ensuring better outcomes. Essentially, CPIC helps translate genetic test results into practical recommendations for medication decisions, promoting personalized medicine based on each person's unique genetic makeup.
