Use Your Unique DNA to Your Advantage

DNA plays a crucial role in finding the right medications because it provides the blueprint for your body's unique biochemistry. This includes things such as how your body metabolizes (breaks down) drugs, how it responds to their active ingredients, how well your body absorbs medication, how medication moves through your body and how it may experience side effects.

By analyzing a person's DNA, healthcare providers can make more informed decisions about which medications are most likely to be effective and have the fewest side effects. This is kind of test is known as pharmacogenomic testing.
