Pharmacogenomics

Pharmacogenomics
(PGx)

Find out how medications are affecting you Today.

Pharmacogenomics is the relationship between a patient’s unique genetic makeup and their response to certain medications. Genetic mutations can cause either higher or lower rates of metabolism for known drugs. According to the FDA, each year, approximately 4.5 million Americans visit their doctors or the emergency room due to drug reactions.

3 million

How does Pharmacogenomics benefit our patients?

Oxy-Gen will provide a comprehensive report based on an individual patient’s genetic makeup that will indicate metabolic rates for defined medications. This information will help clinician’s prescribe the right drug at the right dose based on your DNA profile.

What drugs are you taking?

Discover what drugs you take regularly and their relationship between your unique genetic makeup and how you can respond to these certain medications.

How could they hurt you?

According to the FDA, each year, approximately 4.5 million Americans visit their doctors or the emergency room due to everyday drugs you take regularly.

How does Pharmacogenomics help you?

Below you’ll find the various areas where our Pharmacogenomics panel can benefit those taking certain medications for the following conditions.

Pain

Pharmacogenomic testing is steadily making progress in the pain management by being able to identify individual differences in the perception of pain and susceptibility and sensitivity to drugs based on genetic markers.

Anxiety

Pharmacogenomic studies of anxiety disorders are mainly focused on pharmacogenetics of antidepressants rather than being anxiety specific. The review focuses different types of anxiety disorders.

Mental Health

Psychiatric pharmacogenomic is providing a third pillar of understanding to better help us prescribe drugs, joining the more well-established pillars of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Cardio

Cardiovascular pharmacogenomic is the study and identification of genomic markers that are associated with variability in cardiovascular drug response, or cardiovascular drug related adverse events.

ADHD

Pharmacogenomic test cannot diagnose ADHD, however; they may be a helpful tool for finding practical and personalized medication solutions post initial diagnosis.
