What is this test?
Pharmacogenomics is a field of medicine that investigates how a person's genetic makeup may affect the way certain medications are processed in the body. Understanding the genetic variations influencing a drug's metabolism, transportation, and mechanism of action helps healthcare providers choose the right drugs and right dosages for individual patients. Pharmacogenetic testing serves this purpose, and helps to improve patient outcomes, reduce adverse reactions, and achieve personalized medication.
What is it for?
Why is it needed?
-
To inform personalized medication
The testing helps to select the right drug for an individual and use it at the right dosage based on their genotype, to improve efficacy and reduce the possibility of treatment failures.
-
To avoid adverse reactions
The testing helps to understand a patient's ability to metabolize specific drugs, so as to reduce allergies and adverse reactions.
-
To avoid the repeated modification of medication
The testing helps to prepare the right medication plan for a patient, choose the best time for treatment, and reduce medical expenses for the patient's family.
