Analyzes common genetic variants that may influence how your body processes and responds to certain medications. Pharmacogenetic testing is part of personalised medicine and evaluates inherited genetic differences in genes involved in drug metabolism, transport, and response. These genetic differences can affect how quickly a medicine is broken down, how well it works, or the likelihood of certain side effects.
Because your genetic profile remains unchanged throughout life, the results can provide a lifelong reference for future prescribing decisions. When interpreted alongside your medical history and other clinical information, the report may help healthcare professionals determine whether certain medications or dose adjustments should be considered.
The report may provide insights into
- Genetic factors that influence how your body metabolises selected medications
- Medications that may require dose adjustments based on your genetic profile
- Genetic factors associated with an increased risk of selected adverse drug reactions
- Drug–gene interactions supported by current clinical guidelines
Typical uses
- Support more personalised prescribing decisions
- Help guide dose adjustments for selected medications
- Investigate genetic factors contributing to unexpected side effects or reduced treatment response
- Provide a lifelong genetic reference for future prescribing decisions
- Complement discussions with your physician before starting selected long-term or high-risk medications
