The term is applicable to activities such as drug discovery, drug development, and clinical practice. Drug response includes drug disposition (pharmacokinetics, PK) and drug effect (pharmacodynamics, PD). The term drug should be considered synonymous with investigational (medicinal) product, medicinal product and pharmaceutical (including vaccines and other biological products).The definition of does not include other disciplines such as proteomics and metabonomics.

ALT_DEFINITION
The study of how a person's genes affect the way he or she responds to drugs. Pharmacogenomics is being used to learn ahead of time what the best drug or the best dose of a drug will be for a person.
Science that examines inherited variations in genes that dictate drug response and explores the ways such variations can be used to predict whether a person will respond favorably, adversely, or not at all to an investigational product.
