With pharmacogenetics to personalised medication
Every individual is unique, and personalised medication is crucial for targeted therapeutic success. Genetic variations in enzymes can greatly affect how a person responds to medication. Approximately 90% of the population have genetic variations in these enzymes that can significantly influence the response to a medication by either enhancing or blocking it. This is why some people may not respond well to certain drugs or experience side effects. Additionally, when multiple medications are combined, the risk of incompatibilities and unwanted interactions also increases.
The pharmacogenetic analysis of Unilabs, which involves a simple blood test, can identify genetic variations that may significantly impact how your body metabolises drugs. This allows your doctor to determine the most suitable medication and correct dosage for you right from the start.
The expert for laboratory medical diagnostics from Unilabs, Dr. med. Matthias Kälin, and Arzthaus are pleased to inform about the interesting concept and the benefits of pharmacogenetics:
