What is Pharmacogenomics

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how a patient’s genetic makeup or genes can influence how they respond to medicines. Pharmacogenomics looks at how all the regions of the genome can regulate drug responses.

Diet, overall health, and environment also have significant influence on medication response, but none are stronger indicators of how you will process medication than your genetics.

How it works and what we investigate

Step 1

Send us your sample

Send us your DNA sample as requested in our special package we provide. Using the latest and advanced technology our labs will analyze your DNA sample.

Step 2

Receive your report

Receive your Pharmacogenomics report. Our report will outline the genes that may may lead to potential medication issues.

Step 3

Take action

Our report will enable yo to discuss your treatment option with your based on DNA alongside other conditions that could effect your healthcare outcome.

How Pharmacogenomics can help you & why government and private healthcare are using it

“Helping you manage your medications better”

Reduce risk of drug reactions

A drug may have a low risk of side-effects in the general population, but a high risk in a group who possess a certain variation in their genome. The risk of a hypersensitivity reaction is much higher in patients who have a particular gene variant called HLA-B*5701. Due to these genetic differences, two people taking the same drug and dose may respond in very different ways; one drug might work very well for one person, but not at all for another. Or a certain drug might cause side effects for one person, but not for someone else.

Deciding the correct drug dosage

A patient might metabolise a drug faster than normal – so it is removed more quickly from the body and does not have sufficient effect. They may have no working copy of the TMTP gene. insight to better understand how you may be impacted by hundreds of the most commonly prescribed medications.

Personalised medication management

Drug-related side effects may be serious and life-threatening, with pharmacogenomics testing empowers healthcare professionals to reduce drug complications and provide precision medicine management to potentially reduce drug reactions. Allows a healthcare provider to choose the right drug and dose that are likely to work best for each individual patient based on unique genetic characteristics.

What patients have said about testing their genes for medication management

"I used to suffer from horrific side effects as bad as the condition being treated. Pharmacogenetic testing has changed that.

"My physician switched my medications based on my test results, and I cannot describe how much better I feel. You have made a believer out of me, my family, and my physician."

"I have been having drug reactions for years and my doctors told me it was in my head. Now I have proof that I’m a poor metabolizer for many medications. I just wish I’d known about your test years ago."
