When you decided to pursue a career in clinical medicine, you likely wanted to make a difference, help your patients and provide the best possible care every single day. Healthcare providers in all specialties tend to share this mission for their career. And, as the world of medicine advances, there are new opportunities to learn more about your patients so that your decisions about their care can be more informed. Pharmacogenomic testing allows you to better understand how a specific drug will work for your patient, so that you can minimize the number of prescriptions you have to try and avoid adverse drug events. Pharmacogenetic Testing, partners with hospitals and medical practices all over the Texas area to provide accurate and reliable pharmacogenomic testing to improve overall quality of healthcare.
Benefits of Pharmacogenomic Testing
Drug-gene testing, or pharmacogenomic testing, gives you important information about how a patient’s genes affect their body’s response to medications. This information is extremely valuable to the health care providers who manage their care. The many benefits of pharmacogenomic testing include:
- Provides healthcare providers with more relevant patient information;
- Allows physicians and health care providers to prescribe precise medication that will be effective;
- Decreases the cost of trying different medication before finding one that actually works;
- Decreases changes of dangerous adverse drug events;
- Reduces the need to experiment with dosage;
- A person’s genes never change so they only need to be tested for a medication once.
- Keeping track of these results can help a patient for their whole life;
- Personalized style of medicine saves expenses from side effects and allows individuals to get specialized medical care based on their genes.
