Reconcile prescriptions and supplements and consider selected drug–gene information when useful.
The clinical question
PGx informs defined questions; other medicines, organ function and clinical history remain part of the decision.
What to discuss next
Ask about the specific indication, intended scope, responsible clinician or laboratory, and the availability of the pathway. The team must confirm arrangements before care or testing can be planned.
These linked method descriptions explain their specimen, analytical scope and limits. The status of a method and the availability of a service are separate considerations.
pgx / Pharmacogenomics
Actionable pharmacogenomics
Planned
A planned pathway connecting a defined genotype result to an evidence-based clinician review.
Question
Could a documented drug–gene relationship inform a medication decision?
Specimen
Blood, saliva or buccal specimen only as validated by the selected test
Preparation
Provide the relevant medication question; use the exact approved collection kit. No medication should be changed by this preview.
Platform
Targeted genotyping or qualified partner testing; exact coverage pending
Analytical scope
Selected drug-response variants; gene and allele menu pending
Interpretation limits
Genotype is not phenotype. Copy-number, structural-variant, allele and ancestry-related coverage must be disclosed. Drug interactions and history remain important.
therapeutic-drug / Therapeutic monitoring
Therapeutic-drug measurements
Planned
A medicine-specific measurement tied to collection time and clinical context.
Question
Could a timed concentration help the clinician assess a specific medicine?
Specimen
Drug-specific serum, plasma or whole blood
Preparation
Record dosing and collection times as requested by the ordering clinician. Do not alter a dose for this website.
Platform
Assay-specific LC-MS/MS or validated clinical platform
Analytical scope
Selected prescribed medicines; no released menu yet
Interpretation limits
Different medicines, sampling times and matrices require different interpretation. The result does not independently determine a dose.
