Every pill interacts with your DNA. EvoDNA helps you understand that relationship — how your genes and habits shape your body’s response to more than 200 common medications.
The EvoDNA Medication Test reveals how your genes influence drug metabolism, sensitivity, and side-effect risk — helping you and your healthcare provider choose the right treatment the first time.
By understanding your DNA and how your genes affect medicine response, you and your healthcare provider can choose treatments most likely to work for you, not against you.
EvoDNA reveals how your biology responds to treatment — empowering you and your doctor to make precision decisions instead of trial-and-error ones.
Your personalized Pharmacogenomics Report analyzes hundreds of well-studied gene–drug interactions to show how your body processes common medications.
Every prescription works differently for every person — and your DNA is the reason why.
Metabolism
Some genes speed up or slow down how your body clears drugs.
Efficacy
Genetic variants influence whether medications work effectively or fade fast.
Side Effects
Certain combinations increase risk for fatigue, pain, or reaction.
Epigenetics
Lifestyle factors like stress, diet, or smoking can modulate these same pathways.
Every drug you take follows a predictable journey — absorbed, activated, transported, and cleared. How your body processes these medications depends on genetic variations in the enzymes and receptors that guide this process.
Pharmacogenomics explains why one therapy works perfectly for certain people but not others. This is the science of understanding how genes affect medicine response.
EvoDNA’s pharmacogenomic analysis integrates:
Each genetic variant is analyzed for its clinical impact based on CPIC and FDA evidence standards, providing health information you can trust.
Gene | Variant (rsID) | Function | Impact on You |
CYP2D6 | rs3892097 | Drug metabolism enzyme | Determines how you process antidepressants and opioids; guides dosing |
CYP2C19 | rs4244285 | SSRI & PPI metabolism | Influences effectiveness of antidepressants and gastric medications |
SLCO1B1 | rs4149056 | Drug transport | Predicts risk of statin-induced muscle pain |
VKORC1 | rs9923231 | Warfarin sensitivity | Helps define ideal anticoagulant dose |
OPRM1 | rs1799971 | Opioid receptor | Influences pain control and addiction risk |
COMT | rs4680 | Dopamine metabolism | Affects response to stimulants and antipsychotics |
Your test results will provide information organized by medication class, showing how your genes affect your body’s ability to metabolize and respond to certain medications.
Your EvoDNA medication report includes:
– Medication Categories: Pain management, cardiovascular medications, mental health medications, gastric health, and more
– Genetic Testing Details: Specific genes that affect how you respond to each medicine, including dose recommendations
– Clinical Guidance: Information your doctor can use to select medications most likely to work for you
– Side Effects Profile: Which medications may cause side effects based on how your genetics influence metabolism
– Treatment Optimization: How pharmacogenomics research shows that people with certain genetic variations respond better to alternative medications or different doses
The lab analyzes your sample using the same technology trusted by medical institutions worldwide. When you receive your results, you’ll have comprehensive health information about medication response based on validated pharmacogenomic testing research and clinical study.
This genetic testing empowers your provider to tailor safer, more effective treatments — and gives you peace of mind that your prescriptions align with your biology. It provides information that may help improve treatment outcomes, reduce trial-and-error, and support your provider in delivering precision medicine tailored to your genetics.
Q: What is pharmacogenomics and what does pharmacogenomic testing tell me?
A: Pharmacogenomics is the study of how your genes affect your body’s response to medications. A pharmacogenomic test (also called a PGX test) analyzes genetic variations to provide information about which medications are likely to work best for you and which may cause side effects. The test results help your healthcare provider personalize your treatment.
Q: How does genetic testing for medication work?
A: Testing for medication response begins with a simple cheek swab sample collected at home. The sample is sent to a CLIA-certified lab where your DNA is analyzed using Illumina sequencing technology. You’ll receive your results within 2–3 weeks, showing how certain genes affect your body’s ability to process specific medications.
Q: Can genetic testing tell me what drug I should take?
A: Genetic testing provides guidance based on how your genes affect medicine metabolism, but it does not prescribe medications. Your doctor uses the test results and health information to tailor safe and effective treatment for you.
Q: What if I already take medications?
A: This test shows whether your current treatment fits your metabolism and if safer or more effective options exist. The results will help your medical provider optimize your dose or switch to medications more likely to work for your genetics.
Q: Do I need to retest?
A: Your DNA doesn’t change, but enzyme activity can shift with lifestyle and age. The epigenetic add-on tracks how these factors affect your body processes dynamically.
Q: How accurate is the pharmacogenomic test report?
A: Extremely. EvoDNA uses FDA-recognized variants and CPIC-validated pharmacogenomic data based on extensive clinical research and study of how genes affect drug response.
Q: Does insurance cover pharmacogenomic testing?
A: Coverage varies, but many precision-medicine programs now support testing for medications. Contact your provider or doctor to inquire about medical necessity and reimbursement.
Q: Can this test help with mental health medications?
A: Yes. The test analyzes how you respond to certain antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and other mental health treatments. Understanding how your genes affect these medications may help you and your provider find the right treatment faster.
Q: What is the difference between genetic testing and pharmacogenomic testing?
A: Genetic testing is a broad term that includes health, ancestry, and disease risk. Pharmacogenomic testing specifically focuses on testing for medication response — how your genetics influence the way medications work in your body.
Q: Will I receive a notice of nondiscrimination with my results?
A: Yes. EvoDNA complies with all applicable health information privacy regulations. Your test results are protected and confidential.
Q: How does DNA affect nutrition?
A: Variations in your genes change how you metabolize vitamins, fatty acids, and dietary nutrients, which a DNA nutrition test identifies.
Q: Does everyone need supplements?
A: No—your personalized nutrition report shows which foods and supplements may benefit you, based on your gene-driven metabolism and absorption.
Q: Is it accurate and secure?
A: Yes—EvoDNA uses certified labs with strict privacy and quality controls for every sample.
Q: What is the cost, and is insurance available?
A: DNA nutrition tests are affordable and priced transparently; some insurance policies may cover genetic nutrition testing if medically indicated.
Q: How quickly do I get results?
A: Reports are returned ~ 2 weeks after sample collection with complete action plans and summary tables.
