- Reduce wasted time on ‘trial and error’ medicines
- Reach treatment goals sooner

DNA Testing for Medication Tolerance
The study of pharmacogenomics looks at how genes can affect an individual’s response to certain medications. By undertaking the myDNA pharmacogenomic DNA testing for medication, you can be more informed on how your body responds to a range of different medications, such as those used to treat mental health, pain, gastroenterology and cardiology.
Giving You an Insight into How Your Body Responds to Medication
Pharmacogenomic DNA testing for medication response helps your healthcare professional understand the role your genetics plays in how you process medications. This allows them to be better placed to prescribe safer and more effective medications for you.
This knowledge helps to reduce the trial and error approach of prescribing medications so you can receive the right medication faster. Our DNA-based medication insights are available for a range of commonly prescribed medications. Please contact our friendly customer service team to see if we report on the medication that you’ve been prescribed.
