Pharmacogenetic Testing
Pharmacogenetic testing examines selected genes that can affect how a person processes or responds to certain medicines.
Why might it be discussed?
A qualified professional may use a relevant result with other clinical information when considering a medicine. Not every medicine has an applicable test, and results do not determine treatment by themselves.
Important boundary
Do not start, stop, or change a medicine because of this education. Testing and interpretation require a qualified prescriber and, where appropriate, genetics expertise.
