Pharmacogenomic (PGx) test - once in a lifetime

What is pharmacogenomics (PGx)?

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how a patient’s genetic makeup contributes to a positive therapeutic outcome and / or adverse reactions to prescribed drugs. Using pharmacogenomics, physicians can set up treatment plans that minimize adverse side effects or hazards.

Pharmacogenomics provides knowledge that helps physicians prescribe a drug regimen with a greater likelihood of a positive outcome.

Get the right dose of LEGAL drug at the RIGHT time.

Better, safer, for the first time.

Instead of a standard trial and error method for comparing patients with the right medications, doctors will be able to analyze your genetic profile and prescribe the best available drug therapy from the beginning. Not only will this lead to guessing from finding the right drug, it will speed up recovery time and increase safety, since the likelihood of adverse reactions is eliminated.

More accurate methods for determining appropriate dosage
Existing methods for determining dosages by weight and age will be replaced by dosages based on human genetics; how well the body processes the drug and the time it takes to absorb it. This maximizes the value of therapy and reduces the likelihood of overdose.

Not all medicines work for everyone ...

Many medicines that are currently available are “one size fit for everyone”; but they don't work the same for everyone. It is difficult to predict who will benefit from drugs that will not react at all, and who will experience negative side effects (called adverse drug reactions). Adverse drug reactions are an important cause of hospitalization and death in the United States.

Adverse drug reaction (ADR)

According to the Institute of Medicine

There are over 2.2 million cases that can be avoided under ADR per year.

Annual mortality from ADR exceeds 106,000 people per year.

There are more than 350,000 home ADRs in the country

What are the chances of ADR?

The more medications a patient takes, the greater the chances of an ADR.

Patients taking 11 drugs have a 96% chance for ADR.

Thanks to the knowledge gained through the Human Genome Project, researchers are exploring how inherited differences in genes influence the body's response to drugs. These genetic differences will be used to predict whether a medicine will be effective for a particular person and help prevent adverse drug reactions.
