Genetic Healthcare for Medication Management
Genetic counseling and testing for medication management benefits certain patients.
Who May Consider Medication Management
PGx-certified pharmacists work alongside primary care and specialty physicians with The Christ Hospital Physicians to screen you if you meet the following criteria:
- Have a chronic health condition like heart failure or cancer
- Take multiple prescription medications daily
- Don’t seem to be responding well to your prescription medications
- Have had previous side effects from medications
- Are interested in pharmacogenomic testing to be proactive about your healthcare
Testing & Results
Testing is completed with a simple cheek swab.
Your care team analyzes the results and develops a medication management plan for you to:
- Better match you with prescriptions
- Reduce potential risks for prescription side effects
- Possibly reduce the number of medications you take, which reduces the need for costly and lengthy "trial and error prescribing"
