Pharmacogenetic Testing

It is important to know how our bodies react to medicine. Pharmacogenetic testing can help us find the right dosage for everyone. If you or a loved one are concerned about finding your right dosage, take the first step. Order a PGx test today.

Pharmacogenetic TESTING

By using a genetic test to examine specific genetic sequences, doctors can determine individual dosages of delicate medications. This helps patients get effective treatment faster and safer.

Prevent misdosages

If you  or a loved one is on a volatile drug, pharmacogenetic testing might be a way to reduce any risk of misdosages and ineffective medication. Talk to your doctor about your options for pharmacogenetic testing and see what medications might be affected by genetic markers.

Genetics of Medicine

Many medications can be affected by genes. One example is the drug Warfarin. What might be a safe dosage of Warfarin for one patient might be a dangerous or ineffective dosage for another. PGx testing helps doctors find the correct dosage without trial and error.

Understanding your results

Genetic test results are complicated documents. Often, it takes an expert in the field of genetic counseling to help patients interpret the results and decide on next steps.
