Personalized medication therapy based on an individual's unique genetic makeup. Once Bella Vita CT has received your PGx lab report back, you can schedule your follow-up visit. 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.
