Why do some medications work well for one person but not another?

The answer often lies in our genes.

Pharmacogenetic testing helps doctors understand how a patient's DNA may influence their response to medication. This can help guide treatment decisions and reduce the trial-and-error approach many people experience.

Our Psychiatric Pharmacogenetic Test uses a simple at-home cheek swab and provides doctors with a personalised report to support more informed prescribing.
