Genetic Testing
Personalized medication guidance using pharmacogenomic testing to support safer, more informed prescribing.
Genetic testing helps identify how your body may metabolize certain psychiatric medications. This information can reduce trial-and-error prescribing and improve treatment precision.
What Is Pharmacogenomic Testing?
Pharmacogenomic testing analyzes specific genetic markers that influence how your body processes medications. Results may help determine:
- How quickly you metabolize certain medications
- Potential sensitivity to side effects
- Medications that may be more compatible with your genetic profile
Testing is optional and used as an additional clinical tool.
- A simple cheek swab sample is collected.
- The sample is sent to a certified laboratory.
- Results are reviewed and discussed during a follow-up visit.
- Medication recommendations are adjusted if appropriate.
