Abstract

Recent advances in pharmacology are revolutionizing drug discovery and treatment strategies through personalized medicine, pharmacogenomics, and artificial intelligence (AI). The objective of the present study is to review the role of personalized medicine, pharmacogenomics, and AI-based strategies in optimizing patient outcomes with improved drug efficacy and reduced side effects. A comprehensive review was performed to debate the utility of pharmacogenomics in the prediction of drug response, the role of AI in drug discovery, and the utility of personalized medicine in the clinic. This review highlights how drug discovery and treatment techniques are evolving with the aid of personalized medicine, pharmacogenomics, and AI. Personalized medicine makes the treatment fit the DNA pattern for higher efficacy and minimal side effects. Pharmacogenomics forecasts the action of a drug in terms of genetic difference. AI speeds up drug discovery to enhance the effectiveness and accuracy of finding and evaluating drug leads. Studies show that customized medicine charts therapy to an individual patient's individual genetic profile, resulting in better therapy. Pharmacogenomics facilitates precise drug selection by considering genetic variations, reducing adverse reactions. AI speeds up drug discovery by applying predictive modeling and data-driven evaluation to propel optimized drug development pathways. Together, these advances are enabling more efficient and safer treatment practices across medical disciplines. The combination of pharmacology, genomics, and AI is revolutionizing contemporary healthcare through the personalization of treatments, improved drug safety, and therapeutic outcomes. The future of research should be on optimizing these techniques and overcoming ethical and regulatory issues to facilitate broader clinical implementation.

Keywords: artificial intelligence and therapeutic strategies; personalized medicine; pharmacogenomics; pharmacology.
