Personalized Pharmacogenomics Guide

Why This Medicine?

Understand how your unique genetic profile shapes your medication plan — because every prescription is chosen specifically for you.

You are prescribed this medication because your genetic makeup suggests it is safe and effective for you.

Evidence-based, scientifically validated approach

Personal genomics, personalized healthcare and wellness concept. Genetic testing and analyzing an individual's genetic makeup to provide customized healthcare and wellness solutions.

What Is Pharmacogenomics?

The science of using your genetic information to guide medication choices — ensuring the right drug, at the right dose, for the right person.

Your Genes, Your Medicine

Your genes determine how fast or slow your body processes certain medications. Some people metabolize drugs quickly, others slowly — pharmacogenomics reveals which category you fall into.

Think of Enzymes as Workers

Drug-metabolizing enzymes are like workers in a factory. Some are fast workers, some are slow, and some take different pathways. Your genetic blueprint determines the efficiency of these workers.

Applies to Many Medications

Pharmacogenomics isn't limited to one type of drug or enzyme system. It applies to antidepressants, pain medications, chemotherapy, immunosuppressants, and many more therapeutic areas.

Understanding your genetic profile helps your healthcare provider select medications that work with your body, not against it.

Key Pharmacogenomic Systems

Your body uses multiple enzyme systems, transporters, and genetic variants to process medications. Here are some of the most important pathways.

CYP2D6

Metabolizes antidepressants, opioids, beta blockers, and antipsychotics.

Genetic variants affect how quickly you process these drugs.

CYP2C19

Important for antidepressants, PPIs, and antiplatelet drugs like clopidogrel.

Determines response to therapy and risk of treatment failure.

CYP2C9

Metabolizes warfarin and NSAIDs — crucial for bleeding risk and dosing.

Guides safe warfarin dosing to prevent complications.

DPYD

Critical for 5-FU and capecitabine chemotherapy toxicity risk.

Prevents severe, life-threatening toxicity by dose adjustment.

TPMT & NUDT15

Immunosuppressants like azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine dosing.

Reduces bone marrow suppression risk through personalized dosing.

SLCO1B1

Transporter affecting statin uptake — relates to myopathy risk.

Helps select the safest statin and dose for cholesterol management.

HLA-B*57:01

Predicts severe hypersensitivity reaction to abacavir (HIV drug).

Testing before prescribing prevents life-threatening reactions.

VKORC1

Warfarin sensitivity variant — affects vitamin K cycle.

Combined with CYP2C9 for precision warfarin dosing.

UGT1A1

Irinotecan (chemotherapy) metabolism — toxicity prediction.

Dose adjustments prevent severe neutropenia complications.

Real Stories, Real Results

See how pharmacogenomic testing transformed treatment plans and improved patient outcomes through personalized medication selection.

Depression Treatment

Patient with CYP2C19 variant

Before: Tried multiple antidepressants with poor response and side effects

PGx Testing: Revealed CYP2C19 poor metabolizer status affecting drug processing

After: Switched to genetically-compatible medication with excellent results

"Understanding why this medication works for my genetics gave me confidence to stick with my treatment plan."

Chemotherapy Dosing

Patient with DPYD deficiency

Risk: Standard 5-FU dose could cause severe, life-threatening toxicity

PGx Testing: DPYD variant detected before first treatment cycle

Result: Dose adjusted based on genetics — effective treatment without serious side effects

"My doctor explained that my dose was personalized for my genetic profile. That knowledge helped me trust the treatment."

Every medication has a genetic story. Understanding yours improves trust and adherence.
