Features and Benefits
If you or an eligible dependent are concerned about or currently experiencing problems with a medication, a drug compatibility testDisclaimer1 could help.
What is a drug compatibility test?
When it comes to drug treatment, one size does not always fit all. In Canada, there are approximately 200,000 severe adverse drug reactions every yearDisclaimer2.
- Genetic factors can account for up to 95% of individual variation in drug responseDisclaimer3.
- More than 1 in 5 Canadians live with a chronic illnessDisclaimer4, but many are not being prescribed the right drug.
A drug compatibility test checks for the presence of genetic markers to help predict what medications are the safest to prescribe for an individual. The test is non-invasive and requires only a simple cheek swab that takes less than five minutes to do.
How can the test help me?
Once the test is complete, you will receive a report with clinically validated drug and dosing recommendations for the most commonly prescribed drugs. The report is also available to your doctor, who can then prescribe the correct dose of the right drug, reducing the chances of an adverse reaction or harmful side-effects.
Which drugs are eligible for testing?
There are three tests available at a discounted price. The test you should take depends on which drugs you are on. Testing is available for traditional drugs used for chronic disease, including cardiac conditions, mental health, cancer, pain management, and gastroenterologyDisclaimer5. Speak with a pharmacist at Personalized Prescribing Inc. to see which test is right for you.
Are my results confidential?
Yes. Your information will never be shared with anyone—not your employer, insurance company or the government.
What is the cost?
We have partnered with Personalized Prescribing Inc. to provide you with access to the test at a preferred price. All plan members will save 20% off the full market price of the test.
What People are Saying…
“The medication my daughter was taking was not right for her and it was actually making her symptoms worse. The drug compatibility test results gave us a list of 16 other drugs that would work for her instead. Her doctor switched her to one of these drugs and within a couple of weeks my daughter was laughing and back to her normal self again. Thank you for saving my daughter’s life.”
What People are Saying…
“It's been a few months since I got my results back from your service, and things have changed quite drastically. For the first time in years I feel like I have full control over my emotions. There aren't even any side effects. Sure, my life isn't perfect, but your program is a landmark moment in it. Thank you so much for your help, and I wish you all the luck in the future.”
What People are Saying…
“As a result of the drug compatibility test I've almost entirely eliminated taking GERD medication and I successfully rely on good dietary choices to control my reflux disorders. While this means I must be more careful about what I eat, it means that my health has improved because I no longer suffer from adverse reactions to taking GERD medication.”
