The Pharmacogenetic Test
A person’s DNA will affect their response to medication. Many medications will have a negative impact even for common conditions. Furthermore, some people can suffer serious adverse side-effects.
This test is for anyone, of any age, that is taking medication for long-term conditions such as asthma, diabetes, arthritis, blood pressure or cardiac issues.
It is also a useful test for anyone about to be prescribed medications with indicated pharmacogenetic biomarkers, including:
- where there are more than one drug options
- where the drug has known serious side-effects
- when the starting dosage is not clear
- for those taking more than one drug already
