What is PGx Testing?
PGx Testing—short for pharmacogenomics testing—analyzes how your genetic makeup affects the way your body responds to medications. Certain genetic variations can make you more sensitive to specific drugs, cause medications to be less effective, or, in some cases, trigger dangerous or even life-threatening reactions. Since medications play a vital role in treating everything from heart disease to depression, knowing how your body is likely to process different drugs is just as important as knowing your allergies. PGx Testing brings a new level of safety and precision to your healthcare plan.
How Will I Benefit?
If you currently take daily medications—or are preparing to start—PGx Testing is essential. Many commonly prescribed drugs for blood pressure, cholesterol, mental health, and other conditions work by targeting specific biological pathways. But thanks to genetic variation, not everyone’s pathways are the same. Most of the time, these differences go unnoticed—until a drug interacts with your body in an unexpected way. In some cases, a medication may simply fail to work; in others, it can trigger severe or toxic reactions even at standard doses. PGx Testing helps prevent these risks by identifying the medications that are safest and most effective for you—before you even take the first dose.
