Pharmacogenomics
The right medication for you… because everyone’s genes are different

What is the relationship between the inter-individual genetic difference and drug treatment?

Nowadays, most medicines are produced for “all” patients to treat one or more diseases. However, each patient responds differently to the drug they received.
 

Why should you take a pharmacogenomics test?

Patients respond differently to medications. Some may:

• Respond poorly → Standard doses may not work and require higher doses.
• Be overly sensitive → Standard doses may cause adverse drug reactions.
• Have drug allergies → May lead to severe or even life-threatening reactions.

In addition to age, weight, height, or organ function, genes are one of the key factors in determining safe and effective drug use.
 

Benefits of pharmacogenomics testing

• Reduce the risk of drug allergies and side effects
• Select and adjust medications tailored to you
• Store your genetic profile in your medical record for lifelong reference

 
Pharmacogenomics is a branch of Precision Medicine — a field that studies how genetic variations influence drug response. This enables doctors to select and tailor medications for each individual, resulting in better treatment outcomes, fewer side effects, and improved patient safety.
