Pharmacogenomic testing (PGx)

Find the path to wellbeing with personalized medicine

Pharmacogenomic tests (PGx) are DNA tests that allow your doctor to predict certain risks associated with medications and make better drug choices based on your genetics.

What are the benefits of a pharmacogenomic test?

PGx tests evaluate select portions of your DNA to determine how these affect your response to medications.

The tests look at your results from three perspectives:

How fast your body is capable of eliminating a medication dose to avoid taking doses that are either too high or too low.
Pilules
Identify medications that may be more or less effective at treating your symptoms.
Bouteilles de médicaments
Identify whether you may have predispositions for particular medication side effects.

Get better, faster than with standard trial-and-error

  • Over 200 medications used in mental health, pain management, and cardiovascular disease
  • 51 genes tested
  • This is not a blood test, you only need to provide a saliva sample
Your genetic code is unique, just like your response to medications.
