Hosted by the Pharmacogenomics SIG
Beta-blockers are one of the most prescribed classes of drugs in the USA. In 2020, there were over 117,000,000 prescriptions for beta-blockers for more than 26,000,000 Americans, but until today, there has not been any pharmacogenomic guidelines on the use of beta-blockers based on patients’ pharmacogenomic background. However, this webinar will provide an overview of the upcoming CPIC guideline for beta-blocker pharmacogenetics that will be published soon, followed by an overview of the AACP pharmacogenetics case repository, and concluding with application of the new CPIC beta-blocker guideline to a patient case.
Objectives:
- Summarize the new CPIC guideline on beta-blocker pharmacogenetics.
- Demonstrate how to access the AACP Pharmacogenomics SIG case repository and utilize cases in classroom setting.
- Apply pharmacogenetic recommendations for beta-blockers to a patient case.
