The report provides important information that your doctor can use when deciding on the best treatment for you. Our experts are available to help you and your doctor interpret the results. We strongly advise patients not to attempt to adjust their medication themselves.

How are test results used by healthcare professionals?

Your healthcare professional will carefully review your medication history, current medications, diagnosis, and any other relevant medical information to determine the most suitable treatment for you.

Your genetic information is a valuable complement to other medical data. Genetics alone cannot predict your response to medication with absolute certainty. In some cases, the best option for you may be a drug with a cautionary statement in your report.

After multiple trials and errors, my daughter no longer wanted to take her medication. Thanks to the Biron Genetics' test, we discovered a molecule that we didn't know about and that works. I'm telling everyone who's going through a similar situation about it.
