What to Expect
About 3–4 weeks after we receive your cheek swab sample, you’ll get an email and WhatsApp notification that your personalized "Pharmacogenomics Report" is ready. Here’s what happens behind the scenes:
- WEEK
1Sample Collection & DNA Extraction
- We receive your buccal swab sample.
- Our lab team extracts DNA from your buccal sample with the highest quality standards.
- Your sample is assigned a unique ID to ensure secure and confidential processing.
- WEEK
2Genotyping & Sequencing
- Your DNA is analyzed using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with very high accuracy and depth.
- We use advanced probe-based technology and dual barcoding to minimize errors and false positives.
- The sequencing process covers more than 95% of targeted regions, ensuring highly reliable results.
- WEEK
3Pharmacogenomic Analysis
- Our bioinformatics team matches your genetic profile with ACMG/AMP GATK, CPIC approved guidelines.
- We identify how your genes influence your response to cardiac drugs, antidepressants, painkillers, cholesterol-lowering agents and more.
- Each result is reviewed by genetic experts for clinical accuracy.
- WEEK
4Personalized Report & Counseling
- You receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand Pharmacogenomics Report.
- The report highlights:
- Which medicines are most effective for you
- Which medicines may cause side effects
- Recommended dose adjustments (if applicable)
- Our certified genetic counselor connects with you to explain results and guide you (and your doctor) on next steps for personalized treatment decisions.
✨ This ensures you move from a “one-size-fits-all” prescription to a tailored medicine plan for a safer and effective treatment goals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is pharmacogenomics testing?
Pharmacogenomics (also called pharmacogenetics) is the study of how your genes affect your response to medicines. By analyzing specific genetic variants, this test helps doctors choose the right drug, in the right dose, while reducing side effects.
How is the test performed?
The test is done using a simple buccal swab (cheek swab). No needles or blood draw are required. Your DNA is extracted from cheek cells and analyzed using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) or high-resolution genotyping platforms.
How is this different from a regular health check-up?
Routine check-ups measure your current health status (cholesterol, sugar, liver function, etc.). Pharmacogenomics looks at your genetic blueprint, which does not change with time, and predicts how your body will respond to medicines now and in the future.
What information about medicines will I get in the report?
Your report will provide insights on how your body may respond to various commonly used medicines. These include drugs for conditions like:
- High blood pressure (Hypertension)
- High cholesterol
- Blood thinners and antiplatelet medicines
- Heart medications such as anti-arrhythmics
- Diabetes treatments
- Medicines for acidity and digestive issues
- Pain relievers
- Asthma and rheumatoid arthritis medicines
- Drugs used for Alzheimer’s disease, antipsychotics, and antidepressants and others
This helps you and your doctor choose medicines that work best and are safest for you. You can avoid taking medicines that dont work for you and save time instead of doing a ' Trial & Error' for medicines.
How accurate is the test?
Our test follows internationally recognized guidelines (ACMG/AMP GATK, CPIC). The sequencing is performed at >95% coverage and high depth to ensure robust and clinically relevant results. However, genetic testing is one piece of information and should always be interpreted along with your medical history and doctor’s advice.
Is pharmacogenomic testing useful for everyone?
Yes. Even healthy individuals can benefit by knowing how their body may react to common medicines in the future. For patients already on multiple medications, it helps avoid trial-and-error prescribing and prevents adverse drug reactions.
