Pharmacists
The Medcheck DNA test helps Pharmacists advise patients on the over the counter use of medications and advise on the dosage of prescriptions.
Ensuring Medication Efficacy
The Medcheck DNA test analyses the genotypes in a person’s DNA profile and provides a report on the likely response to approximately 140 commonly prescribed medications.
The easy to read results report shows you how you may respond drugs in a number of key areas.

About This Test
The Medcheck DNA test provides insights into responsiveness to different medications and the likelihood of side effects or not responding.
Medcheck gives insight into how a patient metabolizes, transports and binds specific drugs, which in turn allows physicians to prescribe those medications that are most likely to prove effective whilst minimising side effects.
Such a personalised approach to medicine has the power to produce better results, particularly for individuals whose genetic profile puts them at risk of experiencing either lack of response or an adverse reaction from a given drug.

Ideal For
The Medcheck test is suitable for anyone:
- on an existing medication
- planning to start a new medication
- anyone experiencing side-effects,
- not responding,
- where their prescribing doctor is constantly having to adjust the dose of the medication* outside of the recommended range.
*It is important to confirm that the medication you are questioning is included in the Medcheck report as this test does not report on all medication, but rather only medication for which there is sufficient scientific evidence linking the metabolism of the medication to a genetic variant.

Report Insights
