Pharmacogenetic testing can be helpful
Pharmacogenetics examines your genetic profile to understand what medication will be the most effective and not have undesired effects.
But the services vary significantly
Other pharmacogenetics tests tend to be cheaper because they rely mainly upon one testing criteria, that only accounts for a fraction of drug failure, and they do not provide a personal consultation from a specialized psycho-pharmacist.
There are things you should know
Why do drugs fail?
Unfortunately, fifty percent of first-time prescribed drugs for mental health-related conditions fail due to patients’ genetic variations either in their metabolic enzymes or the interactivity between brain receptors, which are the target of the drugs.
The other fifty percent of the population does not experience drug failure due to their genetic makeup.
While First Generation tests only look at metabolism and isolated genes of high level of evidence, Second Generation tests look at metabolic genes and also brain receptors interactivity using state-of-the-art pathway algorithms in order to provide a personalized prescription recommendation.
