DNA Pain and Medcheck Testing Kit
Medcheck gives insights into responsiveness to different medications and the likelihood of side effects and treatment failure. Medcheck gives insight into how a patient metabolizes, transports and binds specific drugs, which in turn allows physicians to prescribe those medications that are most likely to prove effective whilst minimising side effects.
Clinical value:
Prescribing medications according to an individual’s genetic profile will improve drug efficacy, reduce drug associated toxicity, and enhance patient outcomes, as well as reduce money spent on ineffective medications or time spent in hospital.
Patients most likely to benefit from Medcheck® testing include those:
Planning to start on a new medication
Not responding to specific medications
Experiencing side effects to specific medications
Requiring doses outside of the recommended range
