Pharmacogenomics (PGx)
The impact of the genetic component to your sensitivities to medications is elaborated in our Comprehensive Pharmacogenomics Report: a clinically-validated test designed to examine potential risk of side effects, dosing guidance, and drug metabolism.
As one of the first pharmacogenomic tests to examine the relationship between your clinical variants and prescription drugs using Illumina’s Global Screening Array, the report provides insights on the unique clinical consequences of your genetic makeup, and offers a list of alternatives to potentially impacted medications.
The Pharmacogenomics Report provides a convenient summary card that highlights the critical genes responsible for drug response and metabolism, which are invaluable to both patients and healthcare providers. The report will help improve quality care by enabling precision medicine and promoting proactive approaches to prescription drugs.
Important! Pharmacogenomics (PGx) report requires GenoMatch.Me DNA collection kit and this report is physician-ordered.*
*All GenoMatch.Me healthcare reports are ordered by an independent physician belonging to an external network. The physician will review your information and order healthcare report on your behalf for a fee of $5 per report. This fee will be waived if it is offered by your employer.
Do not change or stop taking any medicine based on a genetic test report without consulting your healthcare provider. This test is not intended to inform you about your current state of health, including whether or not you should take a medication or how much you should take. This test does not diagnose any health conditions and is not a substitute for visiting your health care provider. Discuss the results of the genetic test with your healthcare provider, including whether the medication label includes information on how to use genetic information to determine dosage. Medicine should always be taken as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Genomatch.me is not responsible for providing a copy of your results to your healthcare providers. Consumers are responsible to consult with their physicians before ordering Genomatch.me health match reports. Seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read.
