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:
Get better, faster than with standard trial-and-error
- 145 medications used for mental health and pain management.
- 44 genes tested.
- This is not a blood test, you only need to provide a saliva sample.

Frequently asked questions about pharmacogenomic tests (PGx)
Who can receive the report?
Your results will never be shared with a third party without your consent. Whether it's your doctor, your insurer or your family, your consent will always be collected beforehand.
How is my data protected?
Your genetic data is encrypted on multiple levels and stored on Canadian servers that meet or exceed the most stringent security standards. Our SOC2 Type 2 certification is assessed annually by an external auditor to ensure the robustness of our systems. Biron protects access to your genetic data by letting you control who can access your information.
How long are my results valid for?
Since your genetic code doesn't change, the results will be the same whether you take the test at age 7 or age 70. However, science evolves and it's possible that the interpretation of your results will change over time. Your report will be updated periodically at no extra charge, to ensure that you and your doctor have the most up-to-date and scientifically sound information possible. Additional charges may apply if further genetic analysis is required.
Avoid the lengthy process of trial and error. Order your test today.
