FOR PATIENTS

When It Comes to Your Care,
One Size Doesn't Fit All

More than 90% of the US population has at least one genetic variation that may affect their response to medication. [1] Due to these genetic differences, two people taking the same drug and dose may respond in very different ways; one drug might work very well for one person, but not at all for another. Or a certain drug might cause side effects for one person, but not for someone else.

PGx testing harnesses the power of your genetics to discover and inform how they may interact with medications.

Advances in genetic research and technology have made PGx testing a possibility for patients. Genelex offers a simple, low-cost, PGx test that gives you and your provider the insight to better understand how you may be impacted by hundreds of the most commonly prescribed medications.

Understand Your Potential Risk

Drug-related side effects may be serious and life-threatening.

Adverse events may occur even when the drug was prescribed normally by the doctor and used correctly by the patient. People who take several different drugs face an even greater risk of dangerous side effects, especially if they are over 65 years of age. Each year, millions of people are hospitalized because of the dangerous side effects caused by drugs. With pharmacogenetic testing and precision medicine, you're empowered to improve your life and reduce your risk, now and in the future. [2]
