Personalized Medication The Future Of Medicine

Have you ever wondered why people with the same medical problems sometimes get different results from the same medication?  With today's technology medicine has come a long way.  We are now able to look at the human body in almost every way imaginable.  From X-rays, CT scans, and MRI's.  Even with all of these advances, we still have problems and questions, that need to be answered.  One of the questions are why some medication will work for one person, and not the other, when they have the same medical issue.  The answer to that question is that everyone's body is different. That is where personalized medication comes into play.  Personalized medication is medicine tailored made for an individual's needs, wants, and preferences.   Personalized medication will also make things easier for the doctors as well.    

Example

Imagine that you have high blood pressure.  With high blood pressure there are many different types of medication.  With personalized medication, a doctor would be able to look at your records, and then determine what the best medication for you would be.  This will eliminate the trial and error period, when a doctor is just trying out different medications.  This will allow you the patient to have faster results, and more comfort.   The goal of personalized medication is to quickly sort through the medications, to find the one that will work the best for a particular patient.
