- No fasting or restrict water intake. - If you suspect a problem with current medication, consult prescriber before testing.
Detail
N Health provide comprehensive pharmacogenetic testing known as “Drug-Gene Profile”, including on drug hypersensitivity and personalized drug metabolism (drug selection and dose optimization). This service can test multiple genes simultaneously, providing information on all drugs included in the test in one time. Drug-Gene Profile is based on internationally recognized pharmacogenetic guidelines, CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium) and Nanopore Sequencing which is advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology and SNP Array for highly accurate and reliable results. The analysis is conducted and interpreted by certified geneticists and pharmacogeneticists, ensuring the highest quality and accuracy.
✅ Who Can Get the “Drug-Gene Profile” Test? 1. General Population (All Genders and Ages): • Individuals can undergo the test proactively (Pre-Emptive Pharmacogenomics) to have their personalized drug response profile stored in the hospital system (Patient Profile). In case of unexpected illness, doctors can immediately refer to the genetic profile to select the most appropriate medication immediately. 2. Patients Who plan to start medication: • Testing can prevent severe drug hypersensitivity reactions. It assists in selecting the right medication and adjusting the dosage appropriately from the first dose, thereby increasing efficacy and reducing side effects. 3. Patients experiencing ineffective medication or adverse drug reactions: • The test helps physicians identify whether the cause of drug ineffectiveness or adverse reactions is due to genetic factors, allowing for appropriate treatment adjustments.
