The medical check  is a specialized test examining genetic variations that influence how your body reacts to various medications.

By identifying these variations, it helps doctors tailor prescriptions to suit your genetic makeup, predicting both the effectiveness of treatment and the likelihood of encountering side effects. It covers about 200 prescription drugs, focusing on cardiovascular, psychiatric, and pain medications.

This test merges pharmacology and genetics to create personalized medication plans based on individual genetic markers. Variations in how our bodies metabolize drugs impact their effectiveness, and pharmacogenetic testing aims to pinpoint these genetic traits, aiding in the prescription of safer and more effective therapies unique to each person.

Medcheck delves into 20 genes, analyzing 62 genetic variations to provide recommendations for around 150 drugs across 35 different drug classes. Patients who may benefit most from this test include those starting new medications, not responding well to certain drugs, experiencing adverse effects, or needing doses beyond the usual range.

The advantages of Medcheck’s pharmacogenetics test encompass enhancing drug effectiveness, shortening treatment duration, minimizing unwanted side effects, and cutting costs spent on ineffective drugs or hospital stays.
