Your pharmacogenetics (PGx) test results help you identify what meds work best for you. Eliminate trial and error prescribing. PGx testing gives you and your physicians genetic insight into your body’s ability to process different drugs. This test provides empirical results to help you and your provider select the best medicine from the beginning to achieve the best medical outcome.
Your body metabolizes the drug too rapidly, leading to potential adverse side effects of a standard dose.
Your body metabolizes the drug too slowly, leading to the medication not working as intended.
Your body’s genetic profile causes you to react severely to a typical drug dose.
You want to match with the right medications based on your unique genetic profile
A medication response 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
Test to:
Analyzes up to 20 of your genes that may affect the usefulness of up to 224 prescribed medications
The 4U Health Medication Response Tests may help you avoid taking medications that are not ideally suited to your genetic profile. We’ll analyze up to 20 of your genes and provide information about which drugs across up to 10 medical specialties may require dose adjustments, be less likely to work, or have an increased risk of side effects.
Depending on the option you choose, your report can classify up to 224 anti-cancer, cardiovascular, diabetes, gastrointestinal, infectious disease, pain management, psychiatry (ADHD/anxiety/bipolar disorder/depression/schizophrenia), rheumatology, transplantation, and urology drugs into three categories:

Psychiatric Medication Response (PGx Gene Test) – Sample Report
Our psychiatric pharmacogenomics (PGx) test provides essential information on 9 genes which may affect metabolism and response to 125+ drugs often used in the treatment of mental health disorders. Clinicians can use the personalized information provided with this PGx test to help select the best 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.

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.
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 Psychiatric Medication Response (PGx Gene Test) provides personalized medication guidance on 125+ medications mainly used in mental health treatment, including but not limited to: Antiaddictives, Anti-ADHD Agents, Anticonvulsants, Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, Benzodiazepines, and other Neurological Agents.
