What is Pharmacogenomic Testing?

Temecula Medical Group is here to revolutionize your mental health care with cutting-edge pharmacogenomic testing. By analyzing your unique genetic profile, our pharmacogenomic testing helps tailor medications specifically to you, ensuring the most effective and safe treatment options available.

What is Pharmacogenomic Testing?

Pharmacogenomic testing is a medical test that examines your genetic makeup to understand how you might respond to certain medications. This testing identifies variations in genes that affect drug metabolism, efficacy, and potential side effects. With this information, healthcare providers can customize medication choices and dosages to fit your genetic profile more precisely.

Say Goodbye to Trial-and-Error

At Temecula Medical Group, we recognize that trying new medications can be challenging. Our pharmacogenomic testing aims to remove the uncertainty in prescribing psychiatric medications. By understanding how your genes affect drug metabolism, we can choose the medications and dosages that are best suited to your body, helping you feel better more quickly.

How Does Pharmacogenomic Testing Work?

Step 1: Collect Your DNA Sample

We collect a DNA sample, typically through a cheek swab or blood test.

Step 2: Send it Off for Analysis

Your sample is analyzed for specific genetic markers. These markers can reveal how well you might metabolize a drug, whether you might need a higher or lower dose, or if you are at increased risk of side effects.

Step 3: Discuss Your Results with a Provider

Meet with your provider to discuss which medications might be the best fit for you based on your genetic markers.
