Gain Insight On How Genetics May Impact Medications
The GeneSight Psychotropic Test
The GeneSight Psychotropic test analyzes how your genes may affect your outcomes with medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. The GeneSight Psychotropic test provides your clinician with information about which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work for you or may have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic makeup.
The GeneSight Test Process
A comprehensive report, personalized for you
The GeneSight Psychotropic report may help you avoid multiple medication trials by providing information about which medications may require dose adjustments, be less likely to work, or have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic information.
The report also includes information on how a patient’s smoking status may affect their body’s metabolism of certain medications. The GeneSight results do not provide information on disease diagnosis, medication allergies, drug-drug interactions, or which medications will work best.
The report classifies over 60 mental health medications into four categories:
Use as Directed
Moderate Gene-Drug Interaction
Significant Gene-Drug Interaction
No Proven Genetic Markers
Medications on the GeneSight Psychotropic Report
There are over 60 mental health medications included on the GeneSight Psychotropic test. We continuously evaluate the scientific literature and are committed to providing clinicians with genetic insights to help inform treatment decisions.
