Ever feel one of these?
o anxiety
o ‘brain fog’
o dizziness,
o forgetfulness,
o headache,
o GI problems,
o seizure
Or have you ever said…
o “Certain medicines don’t work for me.”
o “I’m sensitive to many medications.”
o “I need a very low starting dose.”
Then come to our next meeting for the talk titled:
“Why some medications don’t work – or make you feel worse – and what you can do about it.”
Genetic differences in how bodies metabolize drugs can cause all these problems. With genetic testing we can identify bad combinations of specific medicines and certain genes, find alternative meds, and avoid dangerous side effects.
We are extremely fortunate to have Dan Doherty, of Genelex, come speak about the YouScript Personalized Prescribing System, the only medication management system that assesses the cumulative effect of a patient’s genetics and entire drug regimen to determine adverse drug event risk and recommend safer alternatives.
EDSers tend to take a number of meds which tends to increase the risk of side effects. Learn what’s going on and, more importantly, what to do about it.
Dan, has been with Genelex since 2006 helping thousands of clinicians improve patient safety with personalized prescribing. He’s had a unique opportunity to speak regularly with patients and heard the impact CYP450 testing has had on the quality of their lives. He previously worked onsite 24/5 managing the daily routine for residents in a non-profit group home, seeing both the positive and negative impacts of psychiatric medication management on a daily basis. He’s previously spoken at The Children’s Coalition Against Pediatric Pain, The Mastocytosis Society and the Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation.
Company overview:
Genelex’s high complexity, CLIA laboratory has more than 25 years of DNA testing experience and in 2000 became one of the first laboratories in the US to provide personalized prescribing testing for pharmacogenetics. When used while prescribing, YouScript can help providers prevent adverse drug events, improve treatment and reduce healthcare costs.
