The Right Medication at the Right Time

People respond to medicines in different ways. Genes can affect how your body reacts, so a medicine that works well for one person may not work the same for another.

If you are enrolled in the Genomic Life program and take multiple medications or have any of the conditions listed below, a DNA test called a Pharmacogenomics (PGx) test may be accessible to you. This test can help you and your doctor know which medicines may work best for you.

  • Mental health conditions
  • Stomach acid
  • Bleeding or clotting disorders
  • Pain
  • High cholesterol
  • Taking five or more medications

This simple, genetic test helps you:

  • Improve care
  • Reduce adverse reactions
  • Decrease side effects
  • Reduce trial and error
  • Inform personalized prescribing
  • Save money

With this information, you and your doctor may adjust your medications so that treatment can be tailored to work better for you and reduce side effects.
