Pharmagenetic screening testing was an in-service at work today-the cost is approx $4,000—drugs that won’t work, right drugs, knowing the side effects, drug sensitivity, and how they will metabolize can be linked to an individual's genetics. I had never heard of this technology. I found this interesting having CD..I have had many failures and sensitivities to many drugs with my treatment over the years. In our in-service, they talked about pain meds and drugs like codeine that some people with certain genetics don't metabolize them so therefore they don't work..Increasing doses will not help..People with chronic illnesses could really benefit with this technology.
