Personalised care begins with knowing more

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing reveals how your genes affect the way medications work for you, helping your doctor choose safer, more effective treatments faster.

Endorsed by Australian Guidelines (RCPA)

95% of patients have actionable results

One test. Lifetime guidance.

Not all medications work the same for everyone.
Your genes can explain why.

Our Pharmacogenomics test analyses 11 key genes to show how your body may process more than 100 medications across mental health, pain, heart health and digestive conditions.

Mental health

Learn how your genes may influence your response to antidepressants, anxiety medications and ADHD treatments.

Pain management

Learn how your genes may affect your response to opioids, NSAIDs and other pain medications.

Heart health

Learn how your genes may affect your response to common heart medications — including statins, beta-blockers, antiplatelets and blood pressure medicines.

Digestive health

Learn how your genes may influence your response to reflux and other digestive-health medications — including proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and related treatments

Giving your doctor guidance on which options may be safer or more effective to you.

Meet Associate Professor Dr Kym Mina

At Genomic Diagnostics, our pharmacogenomics test, the PGx Multi, analyses 11 genes relevant to over 100 medications.

Dr Kym Mina

Genetic Pathologist and Chief of Genomics, Genomic Diagnostics

In my laboratory work with clinics, I've seen how Pharmacogenomics testing can give patients extra answers.

For instance, one patient with depression saw their symptoms worsen despite trying several antidepressants. Pharmacogenomics testing revealed those medicines might not have been suitable, leading to an adjusted treatment that significantly improved her condition.

Another patient experienced severe side effects, like nausea and weight loss, from medication that was otherwise effective for her mood. PGx testing suggested her medicine was breaking down slowly. By lowering the dose, she could continue treatment with fewer adverse reactions.

These experiences highlight how Pharmacogenomics testing provides valuable insights, empowering doctors to make informed decisions and guide personalised treatment choices.
