Pharmacogenetic Testing
Medicines and You
Acquiring the DNA Kit Premium by ADNTRO(or a simple upgrade to our basic ADNTRO DNA Kit) gives you access to our Pharmacogenetic Report.
Pharmacogenetics is the biological discipline that studies what effect a person's genetic variability has on their response to certain medications. It looks at the efficiency or adverse effects that different medications have or might have on you specifically. This discipline is of increasingly high importance.
Are you tired of the trial and error process for finding out which medicine suits you best?
Would you rather know how your body could react to certain medications according to your genetics?
Or whether you should have a personalized dose adjustment for a particular drug?
Or if you have predisposition towards intolerance to certain drugs?
At last you can solve all these doubts and more with this pharmacogenetic report of our ADNTRO Premium DNA kit.
Types of evaluation
Within this section we distinguish two groups:
Dose
Assessing the possibility of making dosage adjustments of certain drugs that require genetic screening before being prescribed.
Efficiency
The efficiency or toxicity of drugs that don't require genetic screening but are still important to understand.
Pharmacogenetic testing for drugs with genetic screening
Discover if your body needs a personalized dose adjustment to medicines . This applies to medicines with technical sheets advising the use of a genomic test. This is the case when the presence of biomarkers associated with therapeutic responses.
These are drugs such as Azathioprine, Fluorouracil, Voriconazole or Tacrolimus.
Your DNA has all the information about how your body might respond to a large number of drugs.
Pharmacogenetic testing for drugs without genetic screening
Find out if you are more likely to suffer toxicity as a consequence of taking a specific drug, or if certain drugs could be more effective for you than for the mean of the population, for example.
Analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Medications for the treatment of pain, inflammation and fever, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
Antibiotics
Drugs used against bacterial pathogens, such as amoxicillin.
Contraceptives
Hormone-based drugs that interfere with the reproductive cycle in order to prevent pregnancy, such as etonogestrel.
Cardiovascular
Drugs for the treatment of diseases affecting the cardiovascular system, such as atorvastatin.
Opioid pain relievers
Drugs for extremely severe pain, such as morphine.
Antifungals
Substances that prevent the growth of fungi, or even eliminate them, such as fluconazole.
Psychotherapeutics and antidepressants
Drugs prescribed for their relief of symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses, such as fluoxentine or clozapine.
Antiasthmatics
Medications for the treatment of asthma, such as salbutamol.
Antiallergics and immunosuppressants
drugs that depress the immune system, such as hydrocortisone.
Antivirals
Drugs used against infections caused by viruses, such as trifluridine.
Muscle relaxants
Medications used to relax muscles, such as diazepam.
