Background
Initial prescribed medicines are often a “trial and error” decision. For example, 50% of arthritis patients, 43% of diabetic patients, 40% of asthma patients and 38% of depression patients will not respond to their initial treatments. We believe that by taking our tests these figures can be reduced dramatically.
Why Myogenes Pharmacogenetics Test?
The test is nothing more than a simple saliva swab that can be done in the comfort of your own home, or in your doctor’s office. The sample is then sent to our laboratory and the results will be ready in around 2-3 weeks. The results will be sent back to your doctor who will then go through it with you and suggest what the next best steps should be.
Anyone can take our test. However, it’s specifically prudent for anyone (of any age) who is about to be prescribed medications with indicated Pharmacogenetic biomarkers such as the following:
- When there is more than one drug to choose from.
- When being prescribed a drug that’s known to have serious side effects.
- When the starting dosage is not clear.
- For patients who are taking more than one drug already.
