Have you wondered why some medications do not work for you or experience side effects with standard doses?
Studies show between 20-90 of this difference in medications effects is predictable and it is due to genetic variants that you have and can be confirmed with pharmacogenomics testing.

Everyone has unique genes that code for enzymes which are needed to activate or break down a medication. The level of activity of an enzyme (slow, intermediate, fast acting) will determine how the body will react to that medication. There are many people who are on clopidogrel (Plavix), an inactive drug, which requires the enzyme CYP2C19 to activate before it can have its therapeutic effect.

If a patient is a poor metabolizer of CYP2C19, the enzyme is not able to activate clopidogrel; therefore, the concentration of active metabolite is greatly decreased to almost none. This can cause therapeutic failure and put patient at risk for stroke or heart attacks. A pharmacogenomics test before a patient starts clopidogrel could be a life changer for a patient. Can be a life and death situation in some cases. So, pharmacogenomics plays a key factor in many disease states.

There are many people who are on omeprazole (Prilosec) for stomach acid which is a CYP2C19 inhibitor. This is the same enzyme needed for activation of clopidogrel. Taking both would inhibit the activation of clopidogrel which again means no therapeutic effect. This is a classic example of a drug-gene interaction.

With a painless cheek swab, pharmacogenomics test can be done to help understand that genetic makeup so that medications can be personalized.

Your 3X4 Summary Plan
At RashoRx, we provide nutrigenomics testing to help you understand your genes so you can take control of your health.
Your genes are the basic instructions for your body. Which begs the question: How well do you know your genes? Understanding your individual genetic blueprint can guide you to make health choices that may help you to live a happier, longer, and better life.

We have identified the top 3 most potentially significant pathways where you will likely see the biggest impact to your health, based on your unique genetic profile. For each pathway, we provide three recommended diet and lifestyle interventions and three supplement suggestions. Your healthcare practitioner will use these recommendations in combination with your current diet, lifestyle, medical conditions, medical history, family history, and environmental exposures to build a complete picture of where you are now and a plan for how to move forward, resulting in practical and personalized recommendations that guide you on your journey to making health a daily choice
