About Elite Labs pgx testing
What is Pgx Testing?
PGx testing, or pharmacogenomics testing, is a type of genetic testing that examines how your genes may influence your body's response to medications. It helps predict how effectively a drug might work for you, your risk of side effects, and whether you're at risk of adverse reactions before you even take the medication.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- How it works: PGx testing analyzes your DNA to identify specific genetic variants that can affect how your body processes and responds to certain drugs.
- Purpose: PGx testing aims to personalize medication selection and dosing to improve treatment outcomes, reduce the risk of adverse reactions, and minimize the need for trial-and-error medication adjustments.
- Examples of how it's used: PGx testing can help determine if a medication is right for you, find the best dose, identify medications with a higher chance of working, and adjust the dose of a current medication.
- Types of tests: PGx testing can include examining genes like CYP2D6, CYP2C19, HLA, and others.
- Benefits: PGx testing can lead to more effective and safer treatment, reduce the risk of side effects, and improve overall patient outcomes.
