BHITAL PHARMACOGENETICS

If you are a person who regularly takes one or more medicines, this is of interest to you.

Pharmacogenetics is a tool that is as important as it is unknown. Our genetics conditions the way we transform and eliminate medicines. Therefore, pharmacogenetics helps us to predict the risk of toxicity and/or therapeutic failure (failure to work) of a given drug. In conclusion, it prevents the toxicity and/or inefficiency of a drug.

Thanks to this genetic test, we can know the response that a person will have to a medicine, as well as the possible actions and negative interactions that can be generated between different medicines.

This is our medical programme Bhital Pharmacogenetics (BF):

1ST MEDICAL VISIT

We will make these online visits through the DriCloud medical platform,which allows us to collect the necessary data safely and comfortably to:

Prepare a clinical history.
Know your life habits.
Medications you regularly take.
Any supplements or herbs you may take, in case they affect the effectiveness of the drugs.

In this same session, we will request the pharmacogenetic test, which includes a study of the genes involved in the metabolism of the drugs you are taking, possible interactions between medications, foods, supplements and lifestyle.

2ND MEDICAL VISIT (2-3 WEEKS LATER)

We make this visit once we have the results of the pharmacogenetic test, which have allowed us to find out how your genes involved in the metabolism of the drugs you are taking work. This functioning can be normal, poor or very poor. We also assess if there are interactions between medications, food, supplements and your lifestyle.

We will explain the recommendations to follow regarding drug, food and supplement interactions that could produce undesirable effects.

We prepare a report so that you can easily show it to the doctor who has prescribed the medicines, and so he can know the advisability of modifying the drugs that present serious problems or interactions, in case this is recommended.
