Imagine
- Knowing how a drug will affect you before taking it.
- Receiving a medication that is specifically tailored to treat your disease.
- Minimizing your risk of an adverse drug reaction or receiving a less effective treatment.
Personalizing Your Treatment
No medicine works the same for every individual; results can vary widely. Adverse drug reactions threaten the health of more than 2 million people each year. Millions more endure the cost and discomfort of treatments that do them no good. Your reaction to a particular drug can be affected by inherited genetic variations. Just as your genes determine the basic truths of your biology, (such as height and hair color) genes also determine how your body reacts to particular medications.
Capital Health is the industry leader in helping doctors use genetic testing to identify the best possible treatment path for you as an individual. This includes knowing which drugs are most likely to work, which drugs will not work and what your proper dose of a chosen drug should be.
The result is Personalized Medicine:
- A treatment designed specifically for you.
