Q:

What is pharmacogenomics (PGx)?

A:

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how medications react to a person’s specific genetic makeup.

Q:

What is PGx testing?

A:

Pharmacogenetics testing (PGx), also called DNA Drug Sensitivity Testing, is the testing of certain genes to determine how individuals are going to react to specific medications. The test results help to determine which medications will work, won’t work, and could possibly even kill you. It also helps to decrease the need for “trial and error” dosing and can reduce the risk of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs).

 

PGx testing provides predictive information about a patient’s ability to metabolize certain medications and what effect that medication has on a patient, enabling optimal medication choice and dosing. This can provide a unique and personalized treatment strategy, shorten the time needed to find an effective medication, and reduce risk for adverse drug reactions. With a simple buccal swab test from the inside of your cheek, we can determine your ability to metabolize certain drugs.

Q:

How does the test work?

A:

The test is a non-invasive simple buccal swab taken from gently rubbing the inside of your mouth that can be taken at your physician’s office or at home using our FDA cleared collection device. Once the sample is collected it is shipped back in the postage paid package and then sent to the lab for genetic processing.

Q:

Why should I be tested?

A:

To save money, increase your quality of health, and maybe even save your life.

 

Over 38% of all medications a person takes DO NOT work at all and over 260 people die each day from medication issues. Medication sensitivity testing is the cornerstone of personalized medicine. Determining how well you metabolize medication raises chances of a positive outcome and reduces possible adverse drug to drug interactions.

 

Personalized medicine conveys a blueprint to how your body’s unique molecular characteristics and distinctions allow it to process medication. Your physician will have the data necessary to custom tailor a medication management protocol whereby the current/future adjustments and medication alternatives best for you may be selected.

Q:

Who should be tested?

A:

  1. Newborns and Elderly
  2. Anyone Using More Than One Medication
  3. Anyone Using More Than One Pharmacy
  4. Anyone Not Responding to Medications
  5. Anyone About to Have or Who Has Recently Had Surgery
  6. Anyone Taking Cardiovascular, Pain, Anti-depressant, or Other Medications Metabolized by the Liver
  7. Anyone Known to Have Experienced Adverse Drug Reactions
  8. Anyone to Have Known Allergies or a Family History of Allergies
  9. Anyone Concerned About Medicinal Errors
  10. Anyone Pregnant or Who Has Other Specific Lifestyle Issues
  11. Anyone Who Wants to Increase the Level of Their Overall Health

Q:

How much does the test cost?

A:

The normal cost for PGx testing usually runs in the thousands and insurance rarely covers it making it out of reach for most people. The published cost for the PGx test through Pharmazam is $599.00 however we are offering an introduction price of only $499.00 and includes total medication management via our mobile app and web application.

Q:

How will I get my results?

A:

After sending in your sample in our FDA cleared at home collection kit or one of our licensed medical professionals collects your sample your specimen will be sent to a CLIA certified lab and sent back to our medical department to review the results. If there are any critical issues, they will contact you and if not you will be sent an email with a code that you enter into your app and your results will automatically be linked to you personal healthcare record. This process usually takes between 4-6 weeks.

Q:

Does Pharmazam work if I do not get the PGx test?

A:

Yes. All the other healthcare and medication management tools which include Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), Drug to Illness, Drug to Allergy, Drug to Food, and Drug to Lifestyle issues will work upon setup without the genetic test. If there are any issues with your existing medications, you will be immediately alerted and can send a report directly to your doctor. The genetic test results can then be added at any time.

Q:

Aren’t prescribed medications already safe and effective?

A:

Yes. All the other healthcare and medication management tools which include Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), Drug to Illness, Drug to Allergy, Drug to Food, and Drug to Lifestyle issues will work upon setup without the genetic test. If there are any issues with your existing medications, you will be immediately alerted and can send a report directly to your doctor. The genetic test results can then be added at any time.

Q:

What will the results tell me about my DNA?

A:

The pharmacogenomics (PGx) test results will help your physician to prescribe drugs that will provide the most benefit for you while reducing the risk of adverse drug reactions. Since these genes do not change, the test only needs to be performed once in your lifetime, although new genes and variants may become available as new information is acquired. You can send your physician your reports of any potential genetic anomalies so that your physician can decide to order additional testing if he feels it is necessary.

Q:

How can Pharmazam save me time and money?

A:

By using information about your genetic makeup, doctors may be able to avoid the trial-and-error approach of giving you various drugs that are not likely to work for you until they find the right one. Using pharmacogenomics, the "best-fit" drug for you can be chosen from the beginning and helps to eliminate dangerous medication issues. Trial and error prescribing is not just an additional cost for medication but for additional physician visits, missed time at work, and all the other costs associated to the extension of your negative health issue. As Pharmazam relates to over the counter drugs, you just scan the barcode and it will tell you if it is a good match or not and then you can show the information to the pharmacist to help make sure you get the absolute best drug available.

Q:

Do I have to see a doctor to get tested?

A:

You do not need to see a doctor to order the test because one of our Pharmazam physicians will order it for you. We use the same CLIA certified and regulated labs as hospitals and physicians and when we get the results back your test results are reviewed by our medical staff prior to sending them to you.

Q:

Should I continue to take my medications before testing?

You should always take any medications that are prescribed by a doctor and never change a prescribed medication treatment without your physician’s approval.
