    4U Health Pain Medication Response (PGx Gene Test)

    Analyzes 8 of your genes that may affect the usefulness of 35+ commonly prescribed pain management drugs

    The 4U Health Pain Medication Response PGx Test may help you avoid taking medications that are not ideally suited to your genetic profile. We’ll analyze 8 of your genes for important genetic variations in your DNA that may affect your response to medicines used to treat back pain, fibromyalgia symptoms, joint pain, migraine, neurological pain, sciatica pain, stomach pain, and other generalized pain conditions.

    Your report classifies 35+ of the most common drugs used in pain management into three categories:

    • STANDARD PRECAUTIONS – No known interaction
    • USE WITH CAUTION – Moderate gene-drug interaction
    • CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES – Serious gene-drug interaction

    at home DNA test

    This test might be right for you if:

    • You want a report you can share now or in the future with any pharmacist or physician to help increase the likelihood you are prescribed the best pain medication option
    • You are experiencing less than optimal results from currently prescribed pain medications
    • You plan to take new prescription medications for pain management
    • You have a personal or family history of adverse drug reactions

    You want to match with the right pain medications based on your unique genetic profile

    A medication response PGx test can help reduce trial-and-error prescribing with personalized drugs and doses. Over 90% of the population has at least one actionable gene variant that may affect the usefulness of prescribed medications and cause side effects.1

    What drugs does the Pain Medication Response Test cover?

    4U Health’s Pain Medication Response Test informs you on the usefulness of 35+ of the most common pain management medications.

    Discover how your body is likely to metabolize this extensive list of drugs and use your results to learn which medicines may cause a good therapeutic or bad adverse outcome. For more information on which drugs this test covers, view full list of pain medications here.

    What's a medication response pharmacogenomics (PGx) gene test?

    Our pain management pharmacogenomics (PGx) test provides essential information on 8 genes which may affect metabolism and response to an extensive list of pain management drugs. Clinicians can use the personalized information provided with this PGx test to help select the best pain management medication and dose for an individual patient, limiting potential adverse drug reactions.

    Drug Metabolism Genotyping
    Also known as pharmacokinetics, this analysis predicts the body’s impact on a drug. Its purpose is to determine patient-specific genetic variants that may influence the function of drug-metabolizing enzymes. It shows whether a patient is an ultrarapid metabolizer, extensive metabolizer, intermediate metabolizer, or poor metabolizer of a medication. Understanding your metabolizer phenotype is important, as it indicates how much of a drug may be active in the body to produce either therapeutic or toxic effects.

    Drug Response Genotyping
    Also known as pharmacodynamics, this analysis describes a drug’s predictive impact on the body. It considers the likelihood of a drug producing the desired therapeutic effect by identifying patient-specific genetic variants involved in how medications work. This can indicate the likelihood of a good (therapeutic) or bad (adverse) drug response.

    What's a drug-induced disease?

    Clinicians prescribe medications to treat disease or alleviate symptoms. The last thing you might expect is that a prescribed medication may do more harm than good. An adverse drug reaction (ADR) refers to the unintended side effects of a prescribed medication. A drug-induced disease occurs when an ADR warrants a patient consulting a doctor or getting hospitalized.

    ADRs and drug-induced diseases are a reality. FDA studies estimate that 7% of hospitalized patients have a severe adverse drug reaction.2 Drugs are approved by the FDA for use only if their potential benefits far outweigh the risks involved. But it’s important to note not all people react similarly to a drug. A particular medicine may benefit some people while causing others potentially life-threatening unintended side effects.

    A drug response test like this alerts patients and guides clinicians through the practice of personalized medicine. It allows prescribers to empirically select the best medications based on a patient’s unique genetic traits. This test may increase the likelihood of an optimal therapeutic outcome and limit the chances of an adverse drug reaction.

    What's personalized pharmacy therapy?

    One of the transformative trends in medicine is personalized pharmacy therapy. With the advent of medication response PGx tests, physicians and pharmacists alike can individualize a patient’s drug therapy consistent with that patient’s unique genetic makeup.

    Our Pain Medication Response (PGx Gene Test) provides personalized medication guidance on 35+ drugs commonly used in pain management. Share your report to your prescribing physician to help select the optimal drug based on your unique genetic profile.

    Does this test include result explanation?

    This state-of-the-art at home DNA test includes at no additional charge physician oversight throughout the entire testing process. Your report will give you the information necessary to have an informed discussion with your physicians and pharmacists to get the most out of your results.

    What genes does the Pain Medication Response Test analyze?

    This test provides an analysis of 8 genes to identify 35+ medications often used in pain management for potential genetic induced adverse drug reactions.

    Analyzes 8 Genes:
    COMT, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, OPRM, and TPMT.

    What factors commonly influence the body's response to a medication?

    Multiple factors influence how a person reacts to a drug including:

    • Genetics
    • Age
    • Allergies
    • Medical History
    • Weight and Body Size

    Who should not take this test?

    The Pain Medication Response (PGx Gene Test) is not suitable for the following groups of people:

    • Specimens collected in New York State

    If you’re experiencing a severe adverse drug reaction, such as difficulty breathing, vision problems, hives, fever, or vomiting, we recommend you speak with your healthcare provider right away.

    Can I buy now and use this test later?

    Test now or later. This at-home DNA test kit must be used by its expiration date – Ocober 31, 2024. That’s great news if you are buying now but want to test yourself in the future or gifting to a friend or family member for later use.

    Can I gift this test to a friend or family member?

    All 4U Health tests are eligible for gifting. In fact, they make great presents. The recipient who receives your gift will simply open the kit, register it, and follow the collection instructions. Within a few days of sending to the lab, your friend or family member will receive secure electronic HIPAA compliant results all thanks to your generosity.

    Where is my lab test performed?

    4U Health tests meet national standards and are as accurate as services provided in a doctor’s office or hospital. We only work with the highest quality CLIA certified laboratories and health experts. All testing complies with state and federal regulations. And our clinicians provide medical oversight throughout the entire process.

    How is my privacy protected?

    Rest assured; HIPAA security standards protect your data every step of the way while determining your gene to drug responses. Keeping your confidential data secure is our number one priority. We only share your information when required to deliver our products and services or where we are legally obligated to do so. Your results are securely protected and available for review in your online portal; always secure but easily accessible only to you.

    Will my Medication Response Test be covered by insurance?

    Many physicians don’t routinely order a medication response PGx Gene test. That’s because DNA tests like this often require pre-authorization from insurance carriers. If denied, patients with insurance coverage may face unexpected medical bills often in excess of a thousand dollars.

    With 4U Health you pay a fair price upfront and receive no surprise medical bills. 4U Health is not enrolled in Medicare or any other private insurance network. This test is not eligible for Medicare or any other federal or state-funded insurance program reimbursement.
