• Treat the Patient, NOT just the Disease
• Tailored Approach (Provide for individual
differences)
• Predict Susceptibility and Risk Factors:
• Pre-empt disease progression
•Target intervention
•Avoid ineffective treatments &
•Prevent adverse reactions
• Reduce costs in the long term
• Stratify, Genotype and Phenotype Diseases

•The prediction of a drug or xenobiotic intervention outcome
in an individual based on a mathematical model of Pre-
intervention metabolite signatures
•i.e. Prediction of:
•Efficacy
•Toxicity
• One of the major factors influencing patient’s response to any
medication is drug Pharmacokinetic (ADME).
•Differences in the balance of Pharmacokinetic leading to
detoxification vs. toxicity are the difference between a treatment
being Safe and Effective or causing an adverse drug reaction
Pharmacometabonomics
• Pharmacometabonomic approach can amounts to:
•Response-targeted Pre-dose phenotyping, might
provide the basis of a future population-screening tool
for selecting individuals according to their suitability for
treatment with particular drugs, drug classes or drug
doses
•Potentially avoiding Adverse drug reactions by Pre-
dose phenotyping and drugs and dose levels could be
targeted more effectively according to the metabolic and
other characteristics of each individual

The Role of Clinical Pharmacist
in Future
• Apply specialized knowledge of the scientific and
clinical use in medication action, dosing, adverse
effects, and drug interactions, and in performing
patient care activities in collaboration with other
members of the health care team.
• Dose adjustment not just based on therapeutic drug
monitoring but also based on molecular information.
