Discover whether a prescription drug would likely be an effective or ineffective treatment option for you, based on the unique biological responses that are dictated by your DNA!
The PgX (Pharmacogenomic) Test is designed to personalize medication therapy based on an individual's unique genetic makeup. Pharmacogenomics examines how genetic variations influence an individual's response to drugs, enabling your healthcare provider to prescribe medications more effectively and minimize adverse drug reactions.
This test analyzes specific genes involved in drug metabolism, drug transport, and drug targets to provide insights into how an individual's body processes medications. By identifying genetic variants that may impact drug processing, efficacy or toxicity, the PgX test empowers healthcare providers to make informed decisions about medication selection, dosage adjustments, and treatment plans tailored to each patient's genetic profile.
Results from the PgX Pharmacogenetic Test by Trudiagnostic are presented inside a comprehensive result report, with the following sections:
Genetic Summary: a summary of the specific SNPs tested and the individual’s genetic results
Current Regimen Risk Detail (by severity): an assessment of the individual’s current medications and any risks apropos of the medication list supplied for the following risk vectors (Pharmacogenetic risks; Drug-to-drug interactions; Contraindications; AGS Beers criteria; Lifestyle factors; Anticholinergic burden; and FDA boxed warnings)
Medications Summary: a list of common medications by body system, graded as Likely Safe with Standard Precautions; Use Caution; or Change Recommended based on the individual’s pharmacogenetics
Medication Report Details (by therapeutic class): an in-depth report on the individual’s likely response to individual medications based on her or his pharmacogenetic report
PGx testing is a type of precision medicine, which uses information about a person's genes, lifestyle, and environment to find the best treatments and prevention strategies.
PGx testing can also identify an increased risk for certain uncommon health conditions that were passed down from a person's parents.
Drug / Gene Testing: PgX (Pharmacogenomic) Test
Once you place your PGx test through Bella Vita CT, our office will have your test shipped to your home directly from TruDiagnostic Labs. Once your test arrives, follow the directions to test and send it back according to your test packaging.
Your Bella Vita Clinician will be notified of the lab status. As soon as your lab report is available, a Bella Vita staff will contact you to set up your lab interpretation and follow up visit with Mariel Reid, APRN, which can be either in person or through telehealth.
