Pharmacogenetics

Arm Yourself with Precision…

Capital Health’s Pharmacogentic (PGx) testing is the alternative to “one size fits all” and “trial and error” prescribing. Knowledge of a patient’s gene variants, found in more than half of patients,can help determine the appropriateness and dosage of over 300 of the most commonly prescribed drugs, including:

  • SSRI and TCA Antidepressants
  • Opioid Pain Medication
  • Beta Blockers
  • Type 1 Antiarrhythmics
  • Statins

Improving Patient Outcomes

Capital Health’s PGx test data provides physicians with the information necessary to help deliver the best patient care possible:

  • Empowering providers to individualize drug therapy to deliver better, safer medication.
  • Saving time determining which medication and dosage works best for you as an individual.
  • Providing actionable information to pinpoint which medication will work best and avoid drugs that may cause adverse effects.
  • Revealing the right dose for you based on how your body metabolizes medications.

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.
