Pharmacogenomics (PGx) combines the study of genetics with the science of drug delivery. PGx testing can help predict how a patient may respond to drug therapy based on their DNA. This is called Precision Medicine.
Everyone metabolizes their medications differently
A Pharmacogenomic DNA test guides physicians in selecting a patient’s optimal drug therapy based on their own genetics. Testing provides actionable results to facilitate important and time sensitive health decisions. Testing takes 30 seconds with a buccal swab. The FDA compliant report is available to view in 10-14 days. You can adjust patient’s drug therapy ONLINE using our HIPAA Safe portal. Most insurers pay for our test.
The Most Comprehensive PGx Test In Our Industry
PGx Testing
The same drug and dosage that helps you, may not be effective for me, and may send a third person to the hospital. This is called an Adverse Drug Reaction, and there’s an easy way for you to avoid it!
A simple 30 second cheek swab can help your physician select medications that work for you, based on your own genetic make-up. Welcome to Precision Medicine.
- Dramatically reduce your risk of experiencing an Adverse Drug Reaction
- Our Best-in-class Lab tests 62 genes & scans over 200 variants
- Most comprehensive PGx test with the highest degree of clinical evidence
- Predicts drug interactions with recommendations for alternatives
- We are the ONLY PGx lab that includes predictions for Drug to Food, Drug to Alcohol and Drug to Lab Interactions
- Eliminates “Trial and Error” frustration from non-therapeutic prescriptions
- Helps to reduce healthcare costs in multiple ways
- 10%–20% of hospital inpatients will have at least one ADR
- Many Health Insurers & Medicare cover the costs 100% (No HMO’s)
- Medicaid may pay PGx testing costs 100% in certain states
- The FDA reports that the annual cost of ADR exceeds $136 billion
- Every year 2 million people in the U.S. are hospitalized due to ADR
- Annually some 125,000 people unnecessarily die from ADR
- It’s estimated another 2-4 million people suffer with side effects at home
- ADR is the 4th leading cause of death and 65-70% could be prevented
- Allergic reactions make up 5-10% of ADR – the rest are genetic mutations
- PGx Reduces hospital visits by 1/3 for seniors taking more than one med
- Over 300 medications are known to cause ADR due to genetic factors
- National Institute of Health (NIH) – PGx testing could save $3,962 per year, ON EACH PATIENT with depression, sparing them from months or even years of frustration from taking non-therapeutic treatments
- Assessing 62 genes in a single test covering over 310 medical condition and 20 therapeutic areas including cardiology, oncology, pain management, psychiatry ,neurology, and infectious diseases
