Pharmacogenetic Screening
PGx tests can provide your employees with valuable insights into how their bodies processes and respond to certain medications, which in turn can bring down healthcare costs for all stakeholders.
What is Pharmacogenetic Screening?
A pharmacogenetic test is a type of genetic test that analyzes specific genes in your DNA to predict how you may respond to certain medications. The test examines variants in genes that produce enzymes, receptors, and proteins involved in the metabolism and action of drugs. The goal is to optimize drug efficacy while minimizing the risk of adverse effects and drug interactions.
What are the benefits?
The test helps healthcare providers choose the most effective medications for you, reducing the trial-and-error approach commonly used in prescribing medications.
