Why Pharmacogenomics is Essential for ALFs

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a significant risk factor for older adults, ranking as the 4th leading cause of death. Pharmacogenomics (PGx) helps facilities assess genetic profiles to reduce harmful reactions.

PGx testing helps doctors prescribe safer, more effective medications, reducing side effects and improving outcomes. Since DNA is constant, a PGx test offers lifelong insights for ongoing care.

Enhancing Safety and Quality in ALFs Pharmacogenomics provides key benefits for elderly care:

Medication Safety for Seniors

Did you know that people over 65 are hospitalized five times more often due to negative drug side effects than those under 65?

Residents over 65 are at higher risk of hospitalization due to adverse drug effects. As we age, our bodies undergo changes that impact medication processing:

  • Increased sensitivity to side effects in the brain.
  • Prolonged medication effects due to decreased muscle mass and increased body fat.
  •  Reduced liver and kidney function, leading to slower drug breakdown.
  • Elevated medication levels due to decreased body water.

 

For seniors, some medications may pose unnecessary risks. High-risk medications can lead to cognitive decline, falls, and fractures.
Choosing safer alternatives can significantly enhance resident safety and well-being.
