DNA Drug Reaction Test and Package Ordering Options
5-day STAT Extended Drug Reaction Panel - $1150.00 Order now
with warfarin - $1400.00 Order now
You save $250 by ordering the testing as a package
Our STAT Extended Drug Reaction Panel includes genetic analysis of CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, NAT2, and CYP1A2. Select with warfarin to include VKORC1 and your estimated target dose for warfarin. This information can help predict response to more than a half of all prescription drugs. These include such important medications as Coumadin (warfarin), Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, hydrocodone , amitriptyline, Claritin, cyclobenzaprine, Haldol, metoprolol, Rythmol, Tagamet, tamoxifen, Valium, carisoprodol, diazepam, Dilantin, Premarin, and Prevacid (and the over-the-counter drugs, Allegra, Dytuss and Tusstat). The extended panel is recommended over the standard panel if you also need information on the 1A2 pathway which metabolizes amitriptyline, olanzapine, haloperidol, duloxetine, propranolol, theophylline, caffeine, diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, estrogens, tamoxifen, and cyclobenzaprine and the NAT2 pathway which metabolizes isoniazid, caspofungin, dapsone, hydralazine, Nitrazepam, procainamide, retigabine, zonisamide, and sulfonamides . (Note: 6 days for buccal)

Cytochrome P-450 2D6
- $250.00 Order now
CYP2D6 (cytochrome P450 2D6) is the best studied of the DMEs and acts on one-fourth of all prescription drugs, including the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), tricylic antidepressants (TCA), tamxifen, betablockers such as Inderal and the Type 1A antiarrhythmics. Approximately 10% of the population has a slow acting form of this enzyme and 7% a super-fast acting form. Thirty-five percent are carriers of a non-functional 2D6 allele, especially elevating the risk of ADRs when these individuals are taking multiple drugs. Drugs that CYP2D6 metabolizes include Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, hydrocodone , amitriptyline, Claritin, cyclobenzaprine, Haldol, metoprolol, Rythmol, Tagamet, tamoxifen, and the over-the-counter diphenylhydramine drugs, Allegra, Dytuss, and Tusstat. CYP2D6 is responsible for activating the pro-drug codeine into its active form and the drug is therefore inactive in CYP2D6 slow metabolizers.

Cytochrome P-450 2C9
- $250.00 Order now
CYP2C9 (cytochrome P450 2C9) is the primary route of metabolism for Coumadin (warfarin). Approximately 10% of the population are carriers of at least one allele for the slow-metabolizing form of CYP2C9 and may be treatable with 50% of the dose at which normal metabolizers are treated. Other drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 include Amaryl, isoniazid, ibuprofen, amitriptyline, Dilantin, Hyzaar, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), naproxen, and Viagra.
