PGx

Pharmacogenomics for personalized prescribing

Overview

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the science of understanding how a patient's genetic profile influences their response to medications. By identifying specific gene variations, clinicians can make more informed prescribing decisions — improving outcomes while reducing trial-and-error medication adjustments.

Medication response is not one-size-fits-all. Genetic differences can directly impact how quickly a medication is metabolized, whether it will be effective, risk of side effects or adverse reactions, and appropriate dosing strategies.

Chemisys analyzes over 55 clinically relevant genes — more than the majority of genetic laboratories. This expanded panel provides broader medication insight across multiple therapeutic categories, allowing for more complete clinical decision-making. Testing is done once — results guide prescribing decisions for a lifetime.
