DNA Pharmacogenetics (PGx)
The GetTested DNA Pharmacogenetics (PGx) Test analyzes how genetic factors influence medication response. By examining specific genetic variations, this test helps determine whether certain drugs may be more or less effective and whether there is an increased risk of side effects.
The test provides insights into over 50 medications across multiple therapeutic areas, including:
- Pain Management (NSAIDs, Opioids)
- Cardiovascular Drugs (Antiplatelets, Anticoagulants, Statins)
- Psychiatric Medications (Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, Antiepileptics)
- Gastrointestinal Treatments (Proton Pump Inhibitors)
- Immunology & Oncology (Antimetabolites, Immunosuppressants, Antifungals)
You can easily collect your saliva sample with the included test kit and send it to our lab. The price covers the return shipping. You'll receive your detailed results digitally within 6-8 weeks.

Personalized Medication Response Analysis
How It Works
- Genetic-Based Drug Response – Identifies whether an individual is a normal, rapid, or slow metabolizer of specific drugs.
- Prescribing Guidance – Offers insights into how genetic variations may influence medication response, including potential adjustments in dosage or alternative options.
- Evidence-Based Insights – Results are categorized based on the strength of scientific evidence, from well-established clinical guidelines to preliminary research.
Who Can Benefit from the Test?
- Individuals on multiple medications (polypharmacy)
- Those who have experienced adverse drug reactions
- Patients seeking personalized treatment plans
- Anyone looking to optimize medication effectiveness

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
