Pharmacogenetics (PGx) — DNA Rx Insight

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 metabolises, 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
