Pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing analyzes genetic variants that affect how your body processes medications. Approximately 90% of people carry at least one actionable pharmacogenomic variant that could affect their drug response. This panel tests genes involved in the metabolism of hundreds of commonly prescribed medications, including antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs), pain medications (opioids, NSAIDs), cardiovascular drugs (statins, blood thinners like warfarin and clopidogrel), psychiatric medications, proton pump inhibitors, and oncology drugs. Results classify you as a poor, intermediate, normal, rapid, or ultrarapid metabolizer for each gene, helping clinicians choose the right drug at the right dose. This is a one-time test — your pharmacogenomic profile does not change over time. Results can be shared with all current and future healthcare providers.
General health testing provides a baseline snapshot of organ function, metabolism, and key biomarkers — useful for annual checkups, preventive care, and tracking changes over time.
Adults wanting a routine wellness baseline, anyone re-engaging with healthcare after a gap, and people tracking the impact of lifestyle or medication changes.
