Medication, Made Personal.

Pharmacogenetic testing helps us understand how your body processes medications—so we can find what works best, faster.

What is Pharmacogenetic Testing?

Pharmacogenetic testing uses a simple saliva sample to look at how your genes affect your response to medications.

It helps identify which drugs may work best for you—and which ones could cause side effects or be less effective.

This type of testing is especially helpful for medications like:

  • Antidepressants

  • Pain relievers

  • Heart medications

  • ADHD treatments

Why Your DNA Matters in Medication

Everyone’s body is different—and so is the way we process medications.
In fact, up to 95% of a drug’s effectiveness can be influenced by your genes. That’s why many people cycle through multiple prescriptions before finding one that works.

With pharmacogenetic testing, we can help reduce that trial-and-error.
