Pharmacogenomic (PGX) Testing
Precision Medicine for Mental Health & Recovery
Why PGx Matters Every patient’s body processes medications differently. Traditional “trial-and-error” prescribing can take weeks or months, often leading to side effects, treatment failure, and frustration.
PGx Testing changes that. By analyzing genetic variations, PGx provides insights into how a patient will respond to specific medications. This allows providers to choose the right drug at the right dose the first time.
Benefits for Patients
- Reduce trial-and-error prescribing
- Avoid harmful side effects and medication failure
- Improve treatment outcomes and retention
- Boost patient satisfaction and trust
Best for Patients With:
- Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder
- Alcohol & Drug Addiction
- Chronic Pain & Comorbid Conditions
- History of poor response to medications
- PTSD, OCD, Schizophrenia
How PGx Supports Addiction Recovery
- Targeted Medication Choices: Reveals how a patient’s body metabolizes medications, guiding providers to the safest, most effective options.
- Personalized Dosing: Genetic insights into enzymes like CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 allow precise dosing for opioids, antidepressants, and alcohol-use disorder medications.
- Fewer Side Effects, Better Results: Predicts patient reactions to meds, reducing risks like sedation, agitation, or poor tolerance.
- Support for Co-occurring Conditions: Ensures safe treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health challenges that often accompany addiction.
