About the test
Each person reacts differently to medicines. Some people benefit significantly from certain medicines, while others may develop side effects ranging from mild to fatal. It is estimated that around 7% of hospital patients develop serious side effects, and 0,4% of them die. Adverse drug reactions are the fifth most common cause of death in the Western world. In most cases, these reactions are determined by inherited genetic variations or interactions between certain medicines. Farmako Sensor provides information about the rate at which medicines are broken down, which is important for dosing. It should be noted that the analysis may indicate a problem with drug breakdown, allowing an alternative preparation to be used in consultation with a doctor to improve treatment.
