Dr. Aditi Shendre shares her team's analysis of pharmacology knowledge gaps in opioids in the maternal and pediatric populations. Surprisingly, there is substantial disparity between the most commonly researched and prescribed opioids. In particular, the opioid pharmacology knowledge gaps are larger in pregnant women and for the highly prescribed opioids hydrocodone and oxycodone. Learn valuable lessons for practice from their analysis of this data set. Read the full text manuscript at: https://accpjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/phar.70024.

In this episode of the JACCP Podcast, hosts Robbie Parker and Stuart T. Haines discuss the impact of pharmacogenomics on formulary decision-making with Dr. Jacob Brown and Dr. Larisa Cavallari. The conversation highlights how genetic testing should influence a Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) committee’s work to optimize medication safety and effectiveness. The guests discuss the variability in pharmacogenomic adoption across institutions, barriers such as clinician education, cost, and reimbursement challenges, and the importance of physician-pharmacist collaboration. They also described gene-drug pairs where the evidence is compelling, like clopidogrel, fluoropyrimidines and codeine, demonstrating the value of pharmacogenetic-guided prescribing. Finally, they offer guidance for smaller institutions looking to implement pharmacogenomic strategies, emphasizing a stepwise approach and leveraging available resources.
