Patients
Imagine the day when your physician will be able to know what medication will work best for you with the least side effects before your prescription is even written. This has been the dream of patients and doctors even before the promise of genetics was introduced to the practice of medicine. With the cost of healthcare skyrocketing, patients paying a greater share of the cost, and the quality of healthcare lagging behind, the opportunity to provide you with the piece of mind that all is being done to determine the best treatment options for you is our mission at PGxHealth.
The exciting news is that PGxHealth has made advances in the area of identifying genetic tests that will identify patients who will or will not respond to specific therapies or that will determine who may develop a specific disease and how best to treat them. Knowing who will react positively and who will react negatively when treated with a drug will lead to reductions in unwanted drug reactions (side effects), increase the likelihood of your experiencing positive results, and may even allow your doctor to prescribe the best drug at a lower price.
Advances in Pharmacogenomics (PGx™) enables PGxHealth to develop genetic tests that we brand Therapeutic Diagnostics™. These genetic tests allow the doctor to determine the right therapy for you early in your care. We call the determination of your genetic make up as it relates to your personal care and therapy choices your Personal PGx™ . Through genetic testing, uniquely tailored healthcare solutions can be developed for you.
