What is Pharmacogenomics?

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the science of understanding how your genes influence the way your body responds to medications. Unlike the trial-and-error approach of traditional prescribing, PGx provides insights your healthcare provider can use to choose medications that are safer, more effective, and tailored to your unique DNA.

How Pharmacogenomics Helps You

Medications don’t work the same way for everyone. Two people can take the same drug and have completely different results—one may see great improvements, while the other experiences side effects or no benefit at all. PGx testing helps identify these differences before treatment begins, supporting better outcomes and a more personalized approach to care.
