Pharmacogenetics (PGx) – “DNA Rx Insight”

R3,600.00

Unlock the power of your genetics to optimise medication safety and effectiveness with DNA Rx Insight — a comprehensive pharmacogenetic report designed to guide personalised drug therapy based on your unique genetic profile.

What’s Included?
DNA Rx Insight analyses key gene variants that influence how your body metabolizes, responds to, and tolerates a wide range of commonly prescribed medications. This information helps healthcare providers tailor drug selection and dosing to maximise benefits while minimising side effects and adverse reactions.
The report covers genetic factors affecting:
  • Drug metabolism enzymes (e.g., CYP450 family) influencing how quickly drugs are broken down
  • Drug transporters impacting absorption and distribution
  • Receptors and targets that affect drug response and efficacy
  • Genes linked to risk of adverse drug reactions
  • Pharmacogenetic guidance for medication categories such as:
    • Antidepressants and antipsychotics
    • Pain management and opioid response
    • Cardiovascular drugs (e.g., blood thinners, beta-blockers)
    • Oncology medications
    • Immunosuppressants
    • Anti-epileptics and neurological agents
    • Gastrointestinal drugs

Who Is This Test For?
  • Patients starting new medications or experiencing side effects
  • Individuals on long-term medication requiring optimisation
  • Healthcare providers seeking personalised prescribing guidance
  • People with a family history of adverse drug reactions
  • Anyone interested in reducing trial-and-error in medication management
  • Clinicians aiming to improve treatment outcomes through precision medicine

Why Choose DNA Rx Insight?
  • Personalised therapy: Tailor drug choice and dosing based on your genetic profile
  • Increased safety: Reduce risk of adverse drug reactions and toxicity
  • Improved efficacy: Maximise the effectiveness of your prescribed medications
  • Evidence-based: Utilises the latest clinical guidelines and pharmacogenomic research
  • Empowering: Provides clear, actionable insights for patients and healthcare providers

How It Works
A simple DNA sample (usually saliva or cheek swab) is analysed in our certified laboratory. The report delivers clear, clinician-friendly recommendations supported by up-to-date scientific evidence — helping you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your medication plan.
