Table of Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers in Drug Labeling

The Table of Pharmacogenomic Biomarkers in Drug Labeling is a list of FDA-approved drugs whose labels include pharmacogenomic information. Pharmacogenomics can help identify who will respond to medications, avoid adverse events, and optimize drug doses. Some of the products' labels include specific actions to be taken based on biomarker information.
