Pharmacogenetic Test
Know the behavior, reaction, or performance of your genetics to 200 medications
Knowing your genotype optimizes the effectiveness of your pharmacological treatments. This test determines the performance you can obtain among 200 medications and the most effective dosage according to your genetics. If you take multiple medications simultaneously, this test is for you.

Service Description:
|
This genetic analysis allows knowing the genotype of each patient and determining the effectiveness of 200 medications under study, which helps to prescribe the medication with the appropriate dosage, monitor toxicity, effectiveness, and side effects according to your genetics. |
|
The test is performed through a blood sample, fasting is not necessary. |
|
Results available within 20 business days from the receipt of the sample at the laboratory. (Result valid for a lifetime) |

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A POLYMEDICATED PERSON IS?
-
A polymedicated person is someone who takes multiple medications simultaneously to treat one or more chronic diseases. In general, a person is considered polymedicated if they take five or more different medications. This situation can occur for different reasons, such as aging, the presence of multiple chronic diseases, polypharmacy, self-medication, among others.
The use of multiple medications can be beneficial for treating different diseases or conditions, but it can also increase the risk of side effects, drug interactions, and treatment adherence problems. Therefore, it is important that polymedicated individuals are supervised by a healthcare professional and undergo periodic medication monitoring to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
What is pharmacogenetic testing?
-
In drug metabolism, specific enzymatic complexes such as cytochrome P450 are involved. Genetic variants or polymorphisms of the genes encoding these enzymes modify their activity and alter the metabolism of drugs. Thus, four classes of metabolizers are established: slow, intermediate, rapid, and ultra-rapid.
Although most of the population has an intermediate metabolism, there are cases where genetic factors regarding medications, such as a decrease or increase in the speed at which they are processed, can increase their toxicity, decrease their efficacy, or potentiate their side effects.
This means that drug metabolism is influenced by genetic variants in enzymatic complexes, leading to different classes of metabolizers.
This pharmacogenetic test allows determining the genotype of each patient and the effectiveness of 200 studied medications, which can help doctors to prescribe the appropriate medication and dosage. This is especially important in cases where genetic factors may increase the toxicity, decrease the efficacy, or potentiate the side effects of medications
