Medications are processed by enzymes that activate and break down medications. Your genes determine the rate at which these enzymes work. Adverse drug reactions and poor response to treatment may be related to your specific genetic make-up. Pharmacogenomic Testing, or PGX for short, is a test that determines how your genetics affect your body's response to specific medications.
