Helping to Select Effective Medicines for You
All individuals respond to medications differently. Sometimes these differences are due to genetic causes. Pharmacogenomic, or PGx, testing looks at a defined set of locations in your DNA that help control the ways your body processes medication. Using this information, Sanford experts look for gene changes associated with your reaction to many commonly prescribed drugs. Knowing this information early may help your Sanford physician get the right drug at the right dose when you need it.
