High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Statins are widely prescribed to help, but not every patient responds to them the same way.

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) can help. By understanding how a patient’s genes affect their response to medications, PGx testing can help guide safer, more effective cholesterol management.

Swipe through our post to learn more about the impact of high cholesterol in our community and how PGx testing can help to improve treatment outcomes.

Did you know that some women carry genetic variants, like Factor V Leiden or Factor II mutations, that increase their risk of blood clots when taking hormonal contraceptives?

However, many patients don’t know they carry these variants until after a serious event has already occurred.

PGx testing offers a proactive solution. By identifying genetic risks before prescribing, providers can make safer, more personalized prescribing decisions for their patients.

September is National Cholesterol Education Month.

High cholesterol often has no symptoms, but it significantly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular check-ups, a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and proactive care can help manage your cholesterol and promote heart health.

Sometimes,medication may be necessary to help manage your cholesterol. However, cholesterol medications do not work the same for everyone. For some, they may cause uncomfortable, and even dangerous, side effects. PGx testing can help healthcare providers select treatments more likely to be safe and effective for you, allowing you to reduce your risk of side effects and start feeling better faster.

Ask your healthcare provider if PGx testing is right for you.
