"I don't know how to thank you enough for all the work you put into my test. I have learned so much and I am spreading the word to my physicians and friends. I will never take another drug until I know how I will tolerate it based on my pgx results. I keep begging my friends to insist on this test."


Pharmacogenetic testing adds value through increased efficiency of medication selection, reduction of harm and improved response.


Sooner or later all of us will become patients.


A pharmacogenetic (PGx) test, via a simple cheek swab, can inform medication selection throughout the lifetime of the patient across multiple specialty areas.


Evidenced based guidelines/recommendations (FDA, CPIC etc.) exist supporting the use of pharmacogenetic testing.


Greater than 90% of people possess at least one genetic variation that will impact their response to a commonly prescribed medication.


Optimization of medications using pharmacogenetic testing has been shown to improve medication adherence and reduce hospitalizations, adverse events, patient morbidity/mortality and associated costs.


Many pharmacists are specialized in the provision of pharmacogenetic testing and are uniquely qualified to provide results interpretation and assistance in the clinical application of results.
