Do you know what the Right Drug Dose Now Act is?

ASHP Strategic Initiatives Associate Dr. Bayli Larson joins the podcast to discuss HR 6875, also known as the Right Drug Dose Now Act, which was introduced by Representatives Eric Swalwell from California and Tom Emmer of Minnesota. This bill can help save patients and clinicians the time, energy and money it takes to get patients on more accurate doses of their medications sooner by using pharmacogenomics.
