It is used to help doctors select the drugs and doses best suited for each person. It is part of the field of precision medicine, which aims to treat each patient individually.<\/p>\n

Your genes influence how you will respond to different medication. For example, you may process some drugs too quickly and have little or no effects or you may process some drugs too slowly, causing an accumulation and experience side effects.[\/vc_list_item][\/vc_expandable_list_item][vc_expandable_list_item title=”Why are we partnering with Inagene Diagnostics?”][vc_list_item css_animation=””]Inagene Diagnostics is a Canadian company with their head office and laboratory located in Toronto.<\/p>\n
