Understanding Your Unique Response to Medication

Pharmacogenetic Testing can clarify, expedite, and make treatment gentler on your body. At its simplest, GeneSight testing examines specific genes that affect how you respond to psychiatric medications. That information helps your provider choose medications that match your biology, so you are less likely to try several drugs before finding one that works..

 

At Alchemy Institute, we understand finding the right psychiatric medication can feel like guesswork. Some people try multiple medications before discovering what truly works for them. That's where Pharmacogenetic Testing in Greensboro, NC, changes everything.

 

Genetic testing for medication management is a simple way to understand how your body processes certain drugs, and it only requires a quick cheek swab. There is no blood test involved.
