Pharmacogenetics is a big word for a simple idea — your ability to process certain medications can be influenced by your genetics. Many factors influence how people process medications, such as age, weight, liver and kidney function, and drug-drug interactions. For some medications, genetic factors can also play a role. In general, your body needs to transport and metabolize medications in order for them to work safely. Specific DNA variants can impact how our bodies process certain medications.
