Prescribing Made Personal for You and Your Family
*All AccessDx Laboratory tests must be ordered and used only in consultation with a healthcare provider who can prescribe medications. Do not change your current medications or dosing without consulting your healthcare provider.
Pharmacogenomics (PGx)
Pharmacogenomics, or PGx, can help your healthcare providers know what medications and dosages are most effective based on your unique genetics. With PGx, your doctor can:
- Remove or reduce the trial and error of prescribing drugs
- Identify possible interactions between drugs you may already be taking that may reduce the benefits or even cause serious side effects
- Save money by avoiding medications that may not work for you or may cause you harm
Why Pharmacogenomics?
- On multiple medications but not seeing improvement?
- Experiencing unpleasant symptoms or side effects from the drugs you are taking?
The AccessDx PGx Profile helps your healthcare provider identify the safest, most effective medications for you—and which ones to avoid.
More than 75 percent of patients have genetic variations that can lead to adverse drug events and serious complications—are you one of them?
According to the Food and Drug Administration, 2.1 million people experience adverse reactions to drugs every year. This is a growing health crisis, but many incidences could be avoided with the help of PGx testing.
One-size-fits-all approach to drug development and prescribing vs. personalized prescribing
