It's not the 1970s
Bloodtests are no longer cutting edge
Pharmacogenetics (PGx) testing can help you find the right prescription without the trial and error, and prevent the risk of adverse drug reactions
What is
Pharmacogenetics PGx?
We believe in taking the guesswork out of your healthcare. We believe that one size does not fit all when it comes to your medication or treatments. Individualized personal medicine is the future of healthcare.
Azzzura GenetiX direct to patient genetic testing empowers both patients and physicians. We deliver on that promise everyday by helping patients with convenient, easily accessible in-home testing options.
Pharmacogenetics
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing can identify variations in specific genes related to metabolizing or clearing certain medications from the body. Using this information, doctors can examine your genetic profile to predict whether a medication is likely to help you before you even take it.
Identify
Azzurra GenetiX tests across 36 genes, covering more than 90% of the drugs utilized for patient care. MolecularPGx gene variation panels tests can help physicians and other clinicians identify the most effective drug for each individual patient. This will not only help find which drug may be most effective before treatment starts, but also minimize the risk of adverse reactions and hospitalizations.
Variations
Our 5 PGx panels test for variations of most common drug metabolizers, transporters, and receptors that actively participate in drug metabolism and transportation, processing broad spectrum of drugs used for any disease treatment.
You are unique
PGx testing tests for specific variations in a panel of genes that have been heavily researched and significantly shown to affect both the metabolism and reaction to prescribed medication. Since PGx testing analyzes clinically important genetic variations in one’s DNA, PGx testing improves the accuracy, precision, and clarity in drug selection and administration.
One size does NOT fit all
Before PGx testing, caring for patients with prescribed medications followed a “one size fits all” and “trial-and-error” model. Now, physicians and healthcare providers can use information from a simple PGx test to base their treatment on the patient’s genetic makeup and better predict which medications may need dose adjustment, may be less effective, or may lead to an increased risk of side effects.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Azzurra PGx genetic tests from other tests
Azzurra GenetiX tests across 36 genes, covering more than 90% of the drugs utilized for patient care. Our 5 PGx panels are uniquely designed to include the most up-to-date research for variations of the most common drug metabolizers, transporters, and receptors that actively participate in drug metabolism and transportation, processing a broad spectrum of drugs used for any disease treatment.
How quickly do I get my results?
3-5 days
Does my insurance cover Pharmacogenetic testing?
Azzurra genetic currently does not accept health insurance. Insurance is very tricky, some insurance companies may cover pharmacogenetic testing only if you have a specific diagnosis and are taking certain prescription medications. Most insurances may deny claims and patients may be stuck with high out of pocket costs. We strive to make pharmacogenetic testing available and accessible to everyone.
How will this test help me?
Azzurra Medication Response test helps you understand how your DNA can impact your medications. This test helps your doctor prescribe a more genetically optimal medication to avoid medications that may cause side effects or be less likely to work.
What does Azzurra do with my DNA samples?
Unlike a hereditary DNA test, we only analyze very specific genes related to drug metabolism. We do not keep, store or use your genetic data in any way, other than necessary for processing your report. We destroy your sample once it is processed.
Is PGx the right test for me?
Although PGx testing is safe, fast, and accurate, there are several things to consider when ordering a PGx test: Have you struggled with getting on the right medication? Have you been prescribed medication but discontinued because it did not work? Did your physician recently prescribe a medication that you are worried about how it will react with your body? Are you currently not taking medication, but wish to see if a certain medication is right for you? Have you had adverse drug reactions in the past or was prescribed the wrong medication in the past? Has the trial-and-error approach to finding the right medication cost you time, money, or potentially harmed you?
