Our Services
DNA testing (pharmacogenomics)
A pharmacogenomic test (DNA testing for medicines) helps identify how your genes affect your response to medications, allowing for more precise and personalised prescribing. It can reduce the risk of side effects, improve treatment effectiveness, and minimise trial-and-error when starting new medicines. The test is done using a simple cheek swab — no blood required — and provides lifelong insights to guide safer, smarter medication decisions.
Genes currently tested: CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, VKORC1, ABCG2, CYP2B6, OPRM1, SLCO1B1
Home Medicines Reviews
A Home Medicines Review (HMR) can benefit a wide range of patients, particularly those who may be at risk of medication-related problems. People who may benefit include:
- Patients taking multiple medications (usually five or more)
- Recently discharged from hospital
- Elderly individuals, especially those living alone
- People with complex or chronic health conditions
- Those experiencing side effects or unsure about how to take their medicines
- Patients using high-risk medicines (e.g. warfarin, insulin, opioids)
- Anyone with suspected medication adherence issues
- People with cognitive impairment or memory difficulties
- Carers managing medications on behalf of someone else
HMRs are designed to improve medication safety, optimise therapy, and support better health outcomes — and they’re 100% Medicare-funded with a GP referral.
