Genetic counselling and testing in the field of individual drug efficacy?
 

Genetic predisposition has an influence on the individual effectiveness and safety of medicines. With genetic counselling and testing, the type and dose of medication can be individually adapted to the patient. Goal: greater efficacy and fewer side effects.
 

Added value of genetic testing

• The doctor can directly prescribe the most suitable medication.

• The dosage can be specifically adjusted to the patient.

• Undesirable side effects are already recognised before the therapy and another drug can be selected.

• Less trial and error regarding an effective therapy.

• The quality of life can be improved more quickly due to the time and energy gained.

Pharmacogenetics is one of the foundations of personalized medicine. Our DNA contains information about our entire metabolism, including the metabolism of drugs that enter the body. It is a specialty that emerged from the combination of pharmacology and genetics.
 

With tellmeGen, you will understand your compatibility with different medications, meaning why your body reacts in a certain way to various drugs, turning the results of your DNA test into an invaluable guide that will allow your doctor to prescribe the best pharmacological treatment with the most appropriate doses for you.

This will enable you to reduce recovery time and increase the safety of each treatment, minimizing the likelihood of unwanted adverse reactions. However, we strongly advise against making decisions based on the test results without first consulting with the relevant doctor or specialist.

Several clinical studies have shown that undergoing a pharmacogenetic test is extremely important to determine which drug and dosage should be administered to each patient.
