What Is Pharmacogenetic Testing?

Pharmacogenetic testing is a powerful, science-backed tool that examines how your genetic makeup influences your body’s response to medications. This test helps our providers determine which prescriptions are most likely to work well for you, and which ones could cause side effects or be less effective.

With pharmacogenetic testing, you gain insights into how your genetics influence your response to a range of medications, such as psychiatric drugs, pain relievers, and antidepressants, enabling you to avoid unnecessary side effects and enhance your treatment outcomes.

Instead of relying on generalized treatment protocols, pharmacogenetic testing helps to tailor prescriptions to your body’s specific needs, improving the accuracy and efficacy of your care. In short, pharmacogenetic testing brings a new level of precision to your healthcare, helping you get the right medication at the right dose, every time.
