A pharmacogenomics test gives insight into how each patient metabolises, transports, and binds specific prescription drugs, which in turn allows practitioners to prescribe those compounds that are most likely to prove efficacious, to avoid those that will not, and in many instances to adjust doses to safe yet therapeutic levels.  Such a personalised approach to medicine has the power to produce better results, particularly for individuals whose genetic profile puts them at risk of experiencing either treatment failure or an adverse reaction from a given drug. 

Patients most likely to benefit from MedCheck testing include those: 

• Experiencing side effects to specific medications 

• Not responding to specific medications 
• Requiring doses outside the recommended range 
• Planning to start on a new medication
