DNA Testing in Central Texas
For Medication Safety & Effectiveness
Ever wonder if your medications are safe and effective? A simple DNA test done by cheek swab can improve the safety and effectiveness of your medications by analyzing your unique genetic makeup.
Genetic testing will help your physician understand how your body metabolizes medications according to your specific DNA, which will help him prescribe the best medication and dose for you.
Prescribing with confidence has never been more important. Benefits of our pharmacogenetic testing services include:
- Helps physicians choose the right drug and the right dose
