What is Pharmacogenetics Testing?
Simply put, Pharmacogenetics is the study of the impact of genes on the body’s response to certain medications.
Genes are components of your DNA that have been passed down from your parents, containing data that determines your characteristics.
Genes can affect the safety and efficacy of drugs in your body. Because of your unique genetics, what medication may work effectively for you may not do the same to others. Pharmacogenetics testing assesses your genes to come up with the right medication and dose choice for you.
How Does Pharmacogenetics Testing Work?
Pharmacogenetics testing uses the patient’s saliva (non evasive cheek swab) that’s collected by you or administered by a member of your staff.
How to Know If Pharmacogenetics Testing Is Needed

The patient’s prescription plan contains 4 or more medications.
- Adverse Reaction
You or your patient has experienced unwanted side effects and reactions to medications.
- Drug Resistance or Lack of Efficacy
You or your patient reports not feeling relief from their current medications.
- Personal or Family History
You or your patient’s family history dictates their genes may affect certain medication responses.
