How can tellmeGen help you with your pharmacogenomic report?
Pharmacogenetics studies how your genes influence your response to medications: if a drug will have the expected effect, what dose may be right for you, or if you are more likely to suffer an adverse reaction.Many of these differences depend on genes that regulate how your body absorbs, transforms, and eliminates drugs, and others, on immune system genes related to some severe adverse reactions. That is why pharmacogenetics is one of the bases of personalized medicine.With tellmeGen you will know your genetic compatibility with more than 100 medications and drug groups, in areas such as cardiology, psychiatry, pain, oncology, or infectious diseases. Each report indicates whether your genetics can influence the dosage, the efficacy, or the risk of adverse reactions, based on available scientific evidence. Your genes do not change: it is information that serves you for life and that you can share with your doctor every time they prescribe you a treatment.The most important thing: never start, stop, or change a medication or its dosage on your own. Your response to a drug also depends on your age, your weight, your kidney and liver function, other medications you take, and your health status. These reports are predictive and informative, not a diagnosis: take them to your doctor or pharmacist to consider along with the rest of your medical history.
What genetic analyses do pharmacogenetic reports include?
These reports are included in the Advanced and Ultra genetic analyses.With either of them you will also have access to your genetic vulnerability results for health conditions, hereditary conditions, personal traits, wellness and ancestry, and to the DNA Connect service.
