Pharmacogenetics Counselling

Pharmacogenetics counseling helps individuals understand how their genetic makeup affects their response to medications. This type of counseling is important because certain genes can influence how well a medication works or how likely it is to cause side effects. During a session, a genetic counselor assesses your medical history and may recommend genetic testing. The results guide personalized medication choices, optimizing treatment effectiveness and minimizing adverse effects. This approach empowers you to make informed decisions about your healthcare based on your unique genetics, leading to safer and more effective medication use.
