Pharmacogenomics
Genetic Insights for Safer, Smarter Medication Choices
Your genes matter — even when it comes to medicine.
Not all medications work the same way for everyone. Your genes play a key role in how your body processes and responds to certain drugs. Pharmacogenomic testing helps uncover how your DNA influences your response to medications — offering a path toward safer, more effective treatment choices.
Testing Process
Using a simple and non-invasive buccal swab, we collect your DNA and analyze it with next-generation sequencing (NGS) or targeted genotyping methods. This testing looks at specific genes involved in drug metabolism, such as CYP2D6, CYP2C19, TPMT, and others. The results can help identify which medications may be more effective for you, which may cause side effects, or which may require dose adjustments.
Applications
Pharmacogenomic testing is especially useful when considering medications in areas like:
- •Mental health (antidepressants, antipsychotics)
- •Cardiology (anticoagulants, statins)
- •Pain management (opioids)
- •Oncology (chemotherapy selection
- •Gastroenterology (e.g., PPIs)
Whether you’re just beginning a new treatment or looking to optimize current medications, this test provides valuable insight based on your unique genetic profile.
