Pharmacogenomics
Know how you metabolize medications — before you take them.
The same dose of the same drug can be too much for one person and too little for another. Pharmacogenomics reads the genes that control how you process common medications — so care can be matched to your biology instead of trial and error.
What you’ll learn
- How quickly you metabolize many common drug classes
- Genetic factors behind side-effect risk on certain medications
- Why some antidepressants or painkillers may work differently for you
- Statin-related muscle risk signals
- Information you can bring to your prescriber for safer, faster decisions
Why it matters
Finding the right medication and dose is often slow and frustrating — a cycle of 'try it and see.' Your DNA can shortcut a lot of that guesswork, and it's the same answer for life.
This is educational insight, not a prescription. But shared with your doctor, it can make their decisions more precise and help avoid predictable side effects.

From insight to action
Your pharmacogenomic results are summarized in plain language you can share with any prescriber — so medication decisions start closer to right for your body.
Common questions
What is pharmacogenomics?
It's the study of how your genes affect your response to medications. Variants in genes like CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 change how fast you break drugs down, which affects both effectiveness and side effects.
Will this tell me which medication to take?
No — and it shouldn't. It's educational information about how you're likely to process certain drugs. You share it with your prescriber, who makes the clinical decision. It can make that decision faster and safer.
Is it useful if I don't take any medications now?
Yes. Because your DNA never changes, this is insight you keep for life — ready the day you or your doctor need it, from pain relief to heart medication decades from now.
