Pharmacogenomic Testing

What is Pharmacogenomic Testing?

Pharmacogenomic testing, or genomind, is an innovative technique that analyzes how your genes will react to certain drugs. No two individuals display the same response to the administered drugs. Reaching a definitive, conclusive treatment strategy earlier involved a hit-and-trial method, but not any longer. Genomind testing helps us know what works best for you and which drugs might cause unwanted side effects in your body. Pharmacogenomic testing serves as a scientific foundation to remove medication uncertainties during the prescription process.

Mid Cities Psychiatry offers you reliable Pharmacogenomic testing services in Euless that provide qualitative analysis of your response to treatment options.

How do Genes Influence the Effectiveness of Medications?

Genes are part of your DNA and carry every necessary biological instruction for your body cells to operate correctly. Genes are involved in making enzymes, which are proteins that speed up chemical reactions inside your body. Enzymes are involved in breaking the drug into active or inactive forms and ultimately determine how you respond to drugs, whether too quickly, too slowly, or not at all.

Benefits of Pharmacogenomic Testing

The results from pharmacogenomic tests identify your unique genetic variations, which dictate your body’s drug breakdown and clearance processes. They direct us in planning an individualized treatment plan for you, which is more effective than standard plans. Notable benefits are:

Faster Relief from symptom
Fewer side effects
Optimized drug dosage
Reduced cost of care

How is Pharmacogenomic Testing Done?

We require a sample of your DNA to run a test, which can be collected through a cheek swab. DNA involves a simple, no-pain method that does not damage the skin. A pharmacogenomic pharmacist runs several lab tests on your provided sample and examines multiple genes involved in drug metabolism. Complete results generation might take a few weeks.

FAQs

What are the limitations of pharmacogenomic testing?

One of the biggest drawbacks is the limited drug coverage, as it excludes many commonly used psychiatric medications. Additionally, most test results are standardized for specific populations and may not be universally applicable to all.

Is pharmacogenomic testing expensive?

Cost varies widely, and the exact cost depends on the type of test performed and the number of genes analyzed.

Is pharmacogenomic testing is same as genetic testing?

Pharmacogenomic testing is a type of genetic testing that specifically focuses on how your genes affect your responses to medications.

I’ve been going to Dr. Kazi since 2015 and she has helped me get through a lot of my hardest times. When I came to her in 2015 my mind had taken over my body and my life. She got me through it. She is caring, professional and excellent at her God-given gift as a Psychiatrist. Thanks, Dr. Kazi for giving a part of yourself to many daily. You are a true Blessing to many.

I have been a patient for two years. Every staff member has been outstanding. Amanda Bell is a blessing. She is compassionate, and sincere, listens intently and is always able to calm me and help me focus and get the most from my treatments. Dr Kazi has been available whenever I need help. She is on top of my care and aggressively monitors my progress. I came to her suffering major depression and overall a mess. My mental health has substantially improved under her care and she is continuing to help me reach and maintain even higher levels of health. The office does have strict policies but everything is clear and patients are well informed at all times. The guidelines are appropriate and reasonable. I highly recommend this mental health clinic

Fantastic staff and providers, excellent services, amazing care, compassionate professionals, timely prescription refills, and a calm atmosphere. What more could you ask for?

I have had amazing experiences with this business, both on the medical and business side. Any issues I've experienced with billing have been handled gracefully and with patience; the staff are very easy to talk to and are understanding. I LOVE PA Hofer; she (and other staff) are always very quick to answer online Portal questions, are very flexible with visits, understand when it comes to medication costs/changes, and go the extra step when it comes to evidence-based practice.

I've been taking my mom to Dr. Kazi for the past 17 months and we still go. She is an amazing physician and her staff is very warm and welcoming. She has helped my mom when mom needed her the most. If it was not for Dr. Kazi's, I don't know what would have happened to my mom. I am so grateful to her. The bonus is her staff is awesome. Very response to emails and phone calls. Amanda is amazing!! I can't thank Dr. Kazi enough!!
