Drug-Gene Test

Did you know genetic variations in metabolizing enzymes play an important role in body’s response to medications?

Up to 30% of Clopidogrel users fail to activate the drug and remain at high risk of heart attack and stroke?

Up to 70% of patients taking antidepressants are non-adherent possibly because of experiencing side effects.

Pharmacogenomics testing can reveal genetic variations in enzymes responsible for metabolizing medications. The test analyzes variations for over 114 medications including cardiovascular, psychiatric, pain medications and chemotherapeutic agents.

With a simple cheek swab test, done easily at home, you and your patients can learn about the variations in their genes and avoid taking chances. Starting the right medication right from the beginning would limit the risk of treatment failure while helping patients avoid the high costs of sub-optimal medications. Test results will also help patients who experience severe side effects with prescription medications.
