Ancillary Medical Services

Ancillary Medical Services has proudly partnered with PGxl Laboratories to allow affordable genetic testing specifically targeting the metabolization of medication. This aids in less medication needing to be prescribed which lowers cost and assists in the reduction of Adverse Drug Reactions.

 The FDA has recommended genetic testing for many medications and categorized various metabolic status of enzymes which relates to the effectiveness of these medications. For example, if the genetic test determines you are a ‘poor metabolizer’ of a certain drug this may affect your physician’s choice of optimal dosing for certain drugs or the choice of an alternative therapeutic treatment. Knowing how the body metabolizes medication will aid in tailoring medication prescribed specifically to that person.

Genetic testing is used to evaluate medication sensitivities. This sort of testing looks at specific parts of your DNA, the bits known to affect the way you metabolize a lot of medications. It’s usually covered by insurance when prescribed – even for MediCare. There are a number of different testing providers.

If you are fed up with constantly experimenting with drugs at the cost of stability and productivity. Anything that helps give some guidance toward what should work and what shouldn’t – and why – would help reduce the misery. A cheek swab in your doctor’s office will produce very informative information.
