The DNA Medication Response Test (Pharmacogenomics Test) helps you understand how your body processes medications based on your unique genetic profile. This test examines variations in genes that impact drug metabolism, absorption, and response — allowing doctors to choose medications and dosages that are more effective and less likely to cause side effects for you.

This test analyzes over 100 widely prescribed medications across major medical areas including cardiology, psychiatry, neurology, oncology, pain management, infectious diseases, gastroenterology, and women’s health. It reviews how your body responds to medications like antidepressants, statins, blood thinners, antiepileptics, anesthetics, and more.

For each medication, your genes determine whether you are a normal, intermediate, rapid, or poor metabolizer. If a drug is processed too quickly, you may not receive the full benefit. If it is processed too slowly, the drug may stay in your system too long, increasing the risk of side effects. The test categorizes your results under four clinical recommendations:

• Standard use (safe and effective at normal dose)

• Use with caution (requires close monitoring)

• Dosage adjustment (higher or lower dose recommended)

• Consider alternatives (not recommended due to high risk)

For example, the test may reveal that you are a rapid metabolizer for antidepressants like citalopram, meaning standard doses may be ineffective. Or it might show that you are at higher risk for muscle pain from statins like simvastatin due to SLCO1B1 gene variants. Similarly, your response to pain medications like codeine or tramadol can be influenced by CYP2D6 gene activity.

The report is built using validated guidelines from international bodies like CPIC, PharmGKB, and the FDA, ensuring clinically relevant recommendations.

This test is especially useful for individuals who:

• Take multiple medications

• Experience unexplained side effects or poor drug efficacy

• Have a history of adverse drug reactions

• Are starting a new treatment for chronic conditions

The DNA Medication Response Test supports truly personalized medicine — helping reduce trial-and-error prescribing, minimize drug interactions, and improve your overall treatment outcomes with safer, faster, and more effective care tailored to your DNA.
