Personalized medicine is helping clinicians think beyond a one-size-fits-all model by considering health history, genetics, kidney and liver function, allergies, and treatment goals.
This does not mean every patient needs advanced testing before receiving care, but it does support better questions about why a medication was chosen, how it should be monitored, and what side effects deserve prompt attention. In the US pharmacy setting, accurate medication lists and open disclosure of supplements remain essential parts of safer individualized care.
