The RightMed test, co-developed by Mayo Clinic, analyzes your DNA to provide information to your doctors on how you may respond to hundreds of medications.
My test results show that I have a gene that does not function at the same level as the average person. There are several drugs listed in my report that could cause life-threatening side effects if I took them, and now my doctor and I can choose from alternative drugs that may work better for me.
I found this very helpful, despite not being on many medications currently, as it provides a lot of peace of mind to know which medications will work for me before I need them. My provider happily ordered for me, and found the results very interesting. Being a newer technology, many providers are still being brought up to speed and educating themselves; making it all the more important for patients to advocate for themselves and make this their own standard of care!
