Pharmacogenomic Test

Pharmacogenetics

Pharmacogenetics reveals which gene variants you have, and how they impact your response to medications.

Pharmacogenomic tests look for changes or variants in these genes that may determine whether a medication could be an effective treatment for you or whether you could have side effects to a specific medication.

At Lifecare Rx Pharmacy, we have partnered with Inagene to provide Pharmacogenetic testing.
