  • Ensure you are taking the right medications

  • Genetic variations can affect medication safety and effectiveness

  • Customizing your therapy based on your results can prevent dangerous side effects, avoid ineffective medications and improve health outcomes

 

What does it include?

  • A report of your genetic results and personalized recommendations for your medications based on the most up-to-date evidence

  • You'll also learn how your body processes hundreds of other medications

 

PGx testing can benefit many people, including those with:

  • Chronic health conditions

  • Multiple medications

Medication recommendations based on clinical guidance from the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) and the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).
