A Faster Route to Medication Insights
What is the GeneSight® Test?
The GeneSight Psychotropic test is designed to analyze clinically important genetic variations that may impact how your patients metabolize and respond to certain mental health medications. These pharmacogenetic insights can provide critical information to inform treatment plans and may help shorten your patients’ road to wellness.
Genetic Insights to Help Navigate Your Patient’s Next Treatment
The GeneSight Psychotropic report may help you avoid multiple medication trials by providing information about which medications may require dose adjustments, be less likely to work, or have an increased risk of side effects based on your patient’s genetic information.
The report also includes information on how a patient’s smoking status may affect their body’s metabolism of certain medications.
The GeneSight test results do not provide information on disease diagnosis, medication allergies, drug-drug interactions, or which medications will work best.
Get Insights for Many Types of Mental Health Patients and Medication Histories
An ideal time to consider the GeneSight test is when treating:
- New patients with a previous medication failure
- Patients experiencing lower-than-desired medication response
- Patients experiencing unwanted side effects
- Elderly patients
- Patients with liver damage
The GeneSight test provides information about your patients that may help reduce medication trial and error.
