What is Pharmacogenomics ?

Pharmacogenetics, represents a novel healthcare application within the field of Precision Medicine. It focuses on tailoring drug selection, including both the type and dosage, to the unique genetic makeup of each individual. This approach leverages DNA testing technology to provide valuable insights. Research indicates that individuals exhibit diverse genetic responses to the same medications, leading to variations in both drug effectiveness and the appropriate dosage.

RxReady™ evaluates an individual’s response to medications, encompassing considerations related to drug type and dosage in adherence to prescribed instructions. It encompasses over 160 different drugs, analyzing genes that significantly influence drug absorption (such as ABCG2), distribution (such as SLCO1B1), metabolism (including CYP450 family members like CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, etc.), and the Excretion process (such as UGT1A1).

Understanding an individual’s response to specific drugs is invaluable for healthcare practitioners, enabling them to make well-informed and personalized treatment decisions. This approach ensures both treatment efficacy and safety in drug utilization.

Who should get tested?

This testing is suitable for:
• Patients with a history of allergic reactions to specific drugs.
• Patients who have experienced a lack of response to particular medications.
• Patients requiring chemotherapy.
• Individuals interested in understanding their personal responses to different drugs.
