Description
Pharmacogenetic testing (PGx) helps your doctor select the right drug and the best dose for you. Not all people respond to standard medication dosage.
A PGx test analyzes genetic variations that may impact your response to certain medications. Your doctor can act on the results to prescribe medications with less risk of side effects, including bad reactions. PGx testing helps your doctor find the most effective medication and dose for you.
We offer Cardiac, Psychiatric, Pain, Anesthesia, and General PGx tests that look for gene variations that affect how your body’s enzymes work.
Enzymes are involved in all of your body’s functions. Some enzymes break down food inside the body, while others break down medications. Our tests analyze genetic variations that affect specific enzymes abilities to metabolize certain medications. A family of enzymes that we test is called the ”P450 enzymes.” These enzymes break down up to 80 percent of all medications.
