What do the results mean?
The results indicate how your body responds to a particular drug, in relation to the rate of metabolism of the drug, and its ability to reach the site where it has to exert its action, as well as to trigger the desired response. In other words, they provide information on the degree of effectiveness of a particular drug, or whether or not undesirable side effects will occur to a greater or lesser extent.
Thus, in the results of the tellmeGen platform you can find information on:
- Efficacy, the ability of a drug to produce its effect. Low efficacy indicates poor drug efficiency in that individual.
- Adverse reactions, unwanted effects produced by a drug. The risk of various adverse reactions is indicated.
- Dosage, indicates the correct amount of drug for its function. An abnormal metabolism may require changes in dosage.
- Drug interactions, some drugs can react with each other. In such situations, the new effects must be considered.
