Have you heard of pharmacogenomics?

Pharmacogenomics is the study of gene expression on the ability to metabolize or break down medications. 

Many factors affect how you metabolize medications, including your DNA, age, gender, diet, other medical problems, and other medications you are taking. In some cases, your genetics makes up a very large piece of this puzzle — up to 90% for some medications. In other cases, your genetics are only a tiny factor in determining how beneficial a medication is. A simple mouth swab can give your provider the knowledge on what types of medications and doses that will work best for you. Please do not hesitate to ask for this DNA test.
