What is the pharmacogenomic (PGx) Mental Health test?

Medication affects different people in different ways. The PGx Mental Health Test reveals how your DNA code influences your response to medication. With this genetic test, you'll increase your chances of remission and reduce your risk of side effects. [1] [2]

In addition, the valuable information you'll gain can be applied to your current medications, as well as those you may receive in the future.

With your test results, your doctor is able to find the medication and dosage best suited to your needs.

After multiple trials and errors, my daughter no longer wanted to take her medication. Thanks to the Biron Genetics' test, we discovered a molecule that we didn't know about and that works. I'm telling everyone who's going through a similar situation about it.

How are test results used by healthcare professionals?

Your healthcare professional will carefully review your medication history, current medications, diagnosis, and any other relevant medical information to determine the most suitable treatment for you.

Your genetic information is a valuable complement to other medical data. Genetics alone cannot predict your response to medication with absolute certainty. In some cases, the best option for you may be a drug with a cautionary statement in your report.
