Becky Winslow PharmD, of PGX for Pharmacists podcast, joins Eric Geyer PharmD in this mash-up 'Pharmacy Podcast' hybrid episode where we discuss not only the Plavix case but several other cases where pharmacogenomics could help make a huge difference in our healthcare system, including in how we treat opioid addiction. Hawaii recently fined Bristol Myers Squibb and Sanofi under consumer protection standards for their drug Plavix (clopidogrel). This could be a game changing case due to the fact that it could have been prevented with more studies using pharmacogenomics. Special insert from KHON2 News with Hawaii Attorney General Clare Connors held a news conference on Tuesday to discuss the million-dollar lawsuit against Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Sanofi.
