Yes, but we recommend that you ask your doctor for one. What's more, if you have a prescription, you may be exempt from paying taxes.

We will be happy to provide your doctor with relevant information regarding the test. While genetic analysis helps predict how you might respond to different medications, many other factors can also play a significant role. By having access to your results, your healthcare professional will be able to put them in context with your overall health, allowing for more informed decision-making.

Yes, you can combine this test with any other test offered by Biron Genetics. Make your selection in the online store to see the available options and get the best bundled price.

Coverage for genetic testing depends on your private insurance and plan.

A prescription may be required.

If you have a Health Spending Account with your insurance plan, you may be able to use this account to cover the cost of your genetic test. We recommend that you contact your insurance company for more information on your coverage. Get a quote for your genetic test and submit it to your insurance company.

No. Taking any prescribed or non-prescribed medication will have no influence on the pharmacogenomic test. However, it is not advisable to stop or modify your current treatments without the approval of a healthcare professional. We therefore recommend that you continue your treatments as directed by your healthcare professional.

PGx testing may be helpful in patients with ADHD who experience one or more of the following:

• Side effects at low medication doses or failure of at least two psychostimulants

• Presence of comorbid conditions requiring the use of an antidepressant (e.g., depression, anxiety)

• Reluctance to try a new medication; PGx strengthens confidence in therapeutic decision-making

The PGx report determines how genetics influence blood levels and the effects of medications used to treat ADHD, including:

Amphetamine-based psychostimulants:

Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine (Adderall XR®), Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse®), Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine®)

Methylphenidate-based psychostimulants:

Concerta®, Biphentin®, Foquest®, Quillivant® ER, Ritalin® SR

Non-psychostimulants

Guanfacine XR (Intuniv XR®), Atomoxetine (Strattera®)

Because the report notifications are based on the availability of evidence from peer-reviewed scientific literature, some medications have the “Normal efficacy” or “Normal risk” notifications. This indicates that there is currently no evidence available to determine a potential impact of genetics on the medication’s effect. Please refer to a sample report to see which medications carry these notifications.
