Health Pharmacogenetics Service

Pharmacogenetics is the genomic science that studies the actions and interactions between drugs in each person based on their genes. Through this service, a genetic analysis is carried out in a specialized laboratory by taking a saliva sample. With the results, a doctor expert in pharmacogenetics prepares a report, so that the doctor treating the patient has more information when prescribing treatments.
