Discover how pharmacogenomics uses genetic testing to personalize medication, reduce side effects, and improve treatment outcomes. Learn about key genes like CYP2D6 and real-world applications.
Pharmacogenomic testing for CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 genes helps predict how your body metabolizes SSRIs, reducing side effects and avoiding trial-and-error prescribing. Learn how your genes impact antidepressant tolerance and effectiveness.
CYP450 enzymes metabolize 90% of medications, and when drugs compete for the same enzyme, it can lead to toxicity or treatment failure. Learn how common medications interact, why genetics matter, and what you can do to stay safe.
