Pharmacogenomic testing helps personalize your healthcare by using your genetic information to choose the right medications for you. This approach looks at how your body processes different drugs, so healthcare providers can select treatments that are more effective and cause fewer side effects.

For example, studies have shown that 30% of patients face harmful reactions to medications, which can lead to hospital stays and higher medical bills. But when medications are matched to your genes, the risk of serious side effects drops by 30%, according to research published in The Lancet.

Pharmacogenomics not only helps reduce side effects, but it also ensures that medications work better for your specific condition. For example, the heart medication clopidogrel is processed by a gene called CYP2C19. People with certain genetic variations may not respond as well to this drug. Studies show that 30% to 50% of people of Asian descent carry a gene variation that can make clopidogrel less effective. With pharmacogenomic testing, doctors can identify these variations and prescribe the best medication for each patient.

Our RxMax™ test looks at over 240 medications used to treat everything from heart conditions and blood pressure to mental health and cancer treatments. It also checks genes—ABCG2, HLA-A31:01, HLA-B15:02, CYP2C219, and others —to give you the most personalized medication advice possible.
