The Goal of Pharmacogenomic (PGx) Testing

Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing offers a viable solution to help reduce adverse drug interactions through preemptive personalized approaches. This leads to notable savings for both individuals and employers across a population. Understanding genetics is crucial for these individuals, helping healthcare providers optimize medication prescriptions for many clinical areas, including mental health, bleeding or clotting issues, stomach acid problems, pain management, and high cholesterol.
