What is a "pharmacogenetic test"?
A pharmacogenetic test is a type of genetic test that looks at how a person’s genes affect their response to medications. This test helps determine the most effective and safest drugs for an individual based on their genetic formation. It can provide information on how well a person will process or react to certain medications, which can help doctors in choosing the right treatment and dosage. This can help to avoid dangerous reactions and improve the effectiveness of treatments.
