Pharmacogenetic Testing

Pharmacogenetic testing is a medical approach that examines how your genes affect your body's response to medications. By analyzing specific genetic markers, healthcare providers can predict how well a drug will work for you or if you may experience side effects. This personalized information helps doctors choose the right medication and dosage, improving treatment effectiveness and reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Essentially, it’s about tailoring medicine to fit your unique genetic makeup, allowing for safer and more effective healthcare.
