Pharmacogenetics (PGx) is the study of how your DNA affects your response to medications. A simple cheek swab reveals how your body processes certain drugs, helping your provider choose options that are safer and more effective for you.
Every person responds differently to medications, and genetics play a major role in those differences. A drug that works well for one person may not work at all for another or may even cause harmful side effects.
Each year, millions of adverse drug reactions occur, many of which could be avoided with better insight into how the body interacts with medications. PGx helps reduce that risk by providing advance knowledge of how your body is likely to respond, allowing your provider to select medications that are safer and more effective for you.
The PGx process is simple, non-invasive, and can be completed at home or in a clinic:
Swab your cheek
We analyze key genes
Get a clear, personalized report
Your provider uses the results to guide safer treatment
PGx is ideal for anyone on prescriptions, especially those who:
Take multiple medications
Have had side effects in the past
Are starting treatment for chronic conditions
Are older adults
Want a more personalized approach to care
Are being treated for cancer, mental illness, stroke, heart disease, or pain
