  1. Pharmacogentics plays an important role in drug development and drug saftey.
  2. Pharmacogentics focuses on the effect of a single gene on drug response..
  3. Pharmacogentics deals with the effects of multiple genes on drug response..
  4. Pharmacogentic studies have provided strong evidence for the genetic basic of drug response and tolerability..
  5. The translation of pharmacogentic research into clinical practice is time consuming, labour intensive and expensive..
  6. In future all pharmacists, not just those involved in a clinical or research setting will probably need to understand pharmacogentic information for better drug selection..
  7. ASHAP believes that pharmacists have a responsibility to take a prominent role in the clinical application of pharmacogentics..
  8. Health care providers will increasingly need to take Pharmacogentics into consideration when prescribing medications..
  9. Each patient's history, physical condition, gender and ethnicity must be considered when prescribing drugs..

Unlike other at-home tests, we do not outsource our lab tests. We are the ones running your test with our in-house laboratory. This means direct cost-saving to you, faster results, and security knowing exactly who is handling your personal health information. Our CAP Accredited and CLIA Certified lab has served thousands of physicians since 2013 specializing in industry-leading molecular diagnostics that provide accurate results for a wide-range of infectious disease and Pharmacogenetics testing.

PGx testing is a one-time test that looks at your unique genetic makeup by analyzing your DNA to get a better understanding of how your body responds to and metabolizes certain medications. PGx results can help your healthcare provider ensure you’re on the correct medication and dosage, increasing treatment success, lowering your cost on medications, and helping prevent adverse drug reactions.

Currently, our PGx test can give results on around 180 different medications and 17 pharmaceutical categories. To verify if your medication is included, feel free to contact us.

Pharmacogenomics, or pharmacogenetics, is the study of how your genes affect your body’s response to medications. The word “pharmacogenomics” is combined from the words pharmacology and genomics:

  • Pharmacology deals with the uses and effects of medications.
  • Genomics deals with understanding genes and their roles.


    • Genes carry information that you inherit from your parents. Genes determine which characteristics you have, such as your eye color and blood type. Your genes influence how your body responds to medications.

    The purpose of pharmacogenomic testing is to find out if a medication is right for you. Pharmacogenomic testing can help to determine:

  • how likely a medication is to work for you,
  • the best dose of a medication, or
  • if you could have serious side effects from a medication.


    • A pharmacogenomic test may help to predict your response to one or a few medications. However, it cannot tell you how you will respond to all medications.

    Results for most pharmacogenomic tests are available within a week or two.

    Talk to your health care provider or pharmacist about the results. They may recommend that you:

  • keep taking a medication,
  • change the dose of a medication,
  • stop taking a medication, or
  • take a different medication

    • The cost varies depending on which specific test is ordered, but is usually a few to several hundred dollars. Mayo Clinic’s Patient Account Services may be able to provide an estimate by telephone.

    Some insurance companies may cover pharmacogenomic testing, depending on your specific policy and your reasons for testing. Contact your insurance provider about coverage prior to testing if this is a concern. It may be helpful to get the ICD-9 procedure and CPT billing codes for the specific lab tests from your health care provider before you call the insurance company.

    A federal law called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) generally makes it illegal for health insurance companies to discriminate against you based on your genetic information. This federal law doesn’t protect you against genetic discrimination by life insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care insurance companies. Some states have laws in these areas.

    Pharmacogenomics is part of an expanding area of health care called individualized, or personalized, medicine. In individualized medicine, health care is tailored to the patient’s unique needs. The goal of individualized medicine is to better predict, prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases to help patients live longer and healthier lives.
