ABSTRACT
This article addresses
the issues of pharmacogenetics and medical-clinical-pharmaceutical ethics. Its
scientific relevance lies in the fact that it discusses, at a broad and
in-depth level, a topic that permeates the technical training of students in
the areas of health sciences, pharmaceutical sciences and medical sciences,
revealing its interdisciplinary nature. Its social relevance lies in the fact
that it informs the general public about the possibilities of treatments that
may be available in a relatively short time, if the government is interested in
investing in such ventures. This is an integrative bibliographical research ,
of an intervening nature, based on authors who are researching the subject and
its ethical and bioethical dimensions. If these studies were undertaken, they
would improve the living conditions and health of the population, through the
increase in the clinical knowledge of doctors and in the performance of
pharmacists in their practice. The conclusions reached are that
pharmacogenetics, empirically, is already present in the daily lives of
clinical pharmacists, who, upon detecting the resistance of a certain pathogen
to a pharmacological compound, immediately associate, by deduction and
technical knowledge, that all medications belonging to that pharmacological
class may have no effect. In the same way, if a patient complains that the drug
has had no effect on his or her organism, he or she already deduces that there
is a genetic incompatibility between the two, making it necessary to seek a
different chemical formula, which may even be just the vehicle used in the
composition and not necessarily the active ingredient of the pharmacochemical
compound.
Keywords: Pharmacogenetics. Pharmacogenomics. Ethics. Bioethics.
