I would like to have a genetic test to see if my medication is right for me. How do I do this?

Good morning, Madam,

It is true that the effectiveness of some drugs used to lower pressure, as well as some drugs that reduce the risk of getting clots in your stents, can be affected by your genetic code.

In Quebec, I know of only one company that offers this type of test and that is BiogeniQ. The tests seem to be available online, but you can also check to see if your pharmacist is on the list of professionals who offer the test. Follow this link and enter your postal code to find out:

First of all, check with your pharmacist to see if your medications are on the list found on the company's website, here: https://biogeniq.ca/nos-produits/profil-pharma-cardio/

Do not hesitate to write me again if you have any questions.

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
