Genes play an important role in determining the right drug, right dose for the right person.
A treatment or dosage that works for one individual may not work, or may cause severe side effects for another. Pharmacogencomics provides healthcare professionals with a tool that will allow them to “personalize” medicine for each individual patient. Reducing hospital visits, adverse drug reactions and unnecessary medications.
At PGx Medical, our Metabolic Validation tests (pharmacogenomics) will help:
- Decrease adverse drug events: More than 770,000 injuries and deaths every year are caused by adverse drug events.
- Cost-Saving: Pharmacogenomics helps reduce the overall cost for experimenting with drugs “trial-and-error” and adverse drug events cost up to $35 billion annually in hospital admissions.
- Trial and Error: You can now have more accurate information on what an individual can metabolize so you can avoid the “trial-and-error” process that cost money and delays recovery. Pharmacogenomics will help patients/residents live a better quality of life.
If your pharmacy, clinic or home is interested in pharmacogenomic testing, contact us at: info@pgxmed.com or call 405-509-5112.
