π Advocating for your own health is very important. Are you concerned about Drug Contradiction issues? Are you are taking several FDA approved Drugs and a variety of Over-The-Counter Drugs? If so you are considered a PolyPharmacy Patient.
π When taking a number of medications Prescribed or Over the Counter, Drug:Drug and Drug:Gene Interactions may cause an Adverse Drug Reaction, sometimes causing a very Serious reactions, like rapid Heart Rates, Slow Pulse, Skipping beats, Skin Rashes, Breathing Difficulties, etc.
π PolyPharmacy patients are those who are taking several medications. Sometimes a Doctor prescribes a medication to "off-set" or mitigate the adverse drug reaction of the "primary" prescribed medication.
π Genelex DNA testing assesses Drug:Drug Interaction and Drug:Gene Interaction, even for PolyPharmacy Patients, will be analyzed with incredible effectiveness. Before DNA screening, Prescribers could not be sure, how many Over-the-Counter Medications when combined with FDA Prescriptions will Interact with each other. Knowing a Patient’s unique Genetic Profile, removes the “guess-work” and gives the Prescriber factual Reports giving suggestions for alternative pharmaceuticals.
π Over 75% of ALL Patients have genetic variations that have the potential for Adverse Drug Reactions, (commonly called an ADR) for properly prescribed FDA approved drugs and over-the-counter medications.
π Genelex+YouScript DNA Testing Mitigates the Doctor’s “Guess-Work” of Prescribing Drugs ~ DNA Screening renders a Major Reduction of ADR’s ~ Your DNA is Matched to the the Most Effective Drug Regimens based on Your unique DNA Gene Characteristics
π As Genelex’s DNA Laboratory Rep, I would be pleased to visit with your Doctor regardless of your location, or the location of your Doctor in the USA.
π Notice the Sample YouScript Patient ID Card. One week after the Doctor receives the your unique Genetic Profile, YouScript mails to you this Genetic Profile card, which any Doctor or Prescriber may refer to, to aid then in any future prescriptions you may need.
π The YouScript ID Card looks like a typical plastic “Credit Card” for you to keep in your wallet or purse, for easy use by Doctors and Hospitals. Since your DNA Phenotypes remain the same for your lifetime, this is valuable tool for the medical community. Your Pharmacist may also access information, to aid in fulfilling prescriptions anywhere in the world.
π Genelex DNA test is a non-invasive, simple cheek-swab procedure, where the Patient’s swabs (they are like Q-Tips with a 5″ stem) are packaged and FedEx’ed Overnight to the Genelex Lab. Within 2 to 3 days your DNA is classified into 4-metabolic rates, (for example: Rapid Metabolizer, Average, Intermediate or Poor Metabolizer).
π Genelex+YouScript standard YouScript Panel, tests the Patient’s DNA for each of the Six Genotypes (specifically: CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, VKORC1, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5) that effect the Patient’s absorption of the Medication with the Patient’s unique DNA.
π DNA Test results are called the Patient’s “Phenotypes” which are printed onto a Plastic Credit-Card sized Wallet Card, with the full report emailed to the Patient’s Doctor or Prescriber. The graphic is a Sample YouScript DNA Profile Report, showing Three important Drug:Gene Interactions accompanied by several Prescribing Suggestions.
π Genelex DNA screening also assessed how the combination of Medications will be absorbed in your Body with particular attention to potential ADR, adverse drug reactions, based on your unique Genetic Profile. DNA Test Report, the results will make suggestions to your Prescriber/Doctor if a Drug or several Drugs are not best suited to your particular Genotype.
π If you feel drug-sensitivity testing would help you, talk to your doctor about Genelex-YouScript screening. I may be reached at 561-416-1100 and by eMail at JimW.Genelex@Gmail.com
π Your Unique DNA Genotype Profile will not change in the Patient’s Lifetime, therefore this test is only performed once in one’s lifetime.
π At the risk of restating the obvious, its hard to imagine Prescribing without knowing the Patient’s incredibly valuable DNA Genetic Profile, so says thousands of Doctors who have adopted Genelex DNA screening, coupled with Genelex’s unique YouScript programing. YouScript permits Prescribers to access the Patient’s Genetic Profile, where the Doctor may make pharmaceutical substitutions, in search of the best patient treatment results.
π Genelex Lab’s YouScript® is a Revolutionary way of using your genetic makeup to help predict the medications that will work best for you. You may know that every body metabolizes drugs differently. Some bodies have trouble metabolizing specific drugs, which can mean they won’t work properly, and can even lead to serious complications (an ADR) and even fatalities. Finding the best match for You and Your Medication regimen is critical.
π YouScript® is a simple cheek-swab sample test, that analyzes your DNA and provides a comprehensive report so your physician can prescribe with confidence, and you can get the effective treatment you need.
π Genelex YouScript DNA Testing Takes the "Guess Work" out of Prescribing Drugs ~ Use Your DNA to Match the Best Drug Treatment based on your Particular DNA Characteristics.
π Your good health is your Doctor’s and Genelex Lab’s top priority. An open dialogue between You and your Physician is a very important step in achieving this goal. The graphic below shows that DNA Screening shows Drug to Drug Interaction, and Drug : Drug : Patient Interactions. DNA Screening gives specific Metabolism information specifically matched to the Drug treatment regimen recommended by your Doctor.
π YouScript DNA genomic screening is available with a traditional "Prescription" from your doctor, and follow-up (including analysis of your DNA test results) is conducted by your physician. Genelex has prepared some materials that will make it easy to talk to your doctor about what Genelex YouScript is, and the benefit it provides for your treatment.
π More than 85% of the Population have Genetic Variations that can effect the drug metabolism, significantly changing the a patient’s exposure to those drugs.
π Genelex’s YouScript analyses 6 Key drug processing enzymes, namely the CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, VKORC1, CYP3A4 and CYP3A5.
π Five Key Enzymes are relied upon by 50% of all commonly prescribed drugs, including drugs used for cardiovascular treatment, and pain medications, NSAIDs, the majority of all antidepressants, tamoxifen and the thousands of drugs that Genelex has in their data-base.
π Having your specific metabolic-rate information helps your Doctor select the best combination of medications, most likely to succeed for a patient, in light of their specific genetic profile.
The Genelex YouScript DNA Test is a very Simple Process
π (1) You meet with your Doctor as you usually do
π (2) A prescription is written for the Genelex DNA Testing, Genelex submits the paperwork for billing the insurance company or MediCare, and there is no cost to the Doctor or the Doctors Office
π (3) A simple cheek-swab is done to collect some of your DNA
π (4) The Doctor provides a current list of all medications, herbals, and OTCs that you are taking, along with what the Doctor is currently recommending to be taken
π (5) The list of medications and your test-swabs are packaged and Overnight FedEx’ed to Genelex Labs
π (6) Five Days later the DNA Test results are delivered to your Doctor for his review
π (7) Your Doctor examines the YouScript DNA Test results and formulates the best Drug Treatment plan, in light of your particular DNA metabolic rates for the various medications and combinations of all the medications
π (8) Your Doctor than writes Prescriptions for the medications that are optimized and most efficacious for You.

PharmacoGenetic Screening: Having been trained as a BioChemist, I have an avid interest in PharmacoGenetics DNA Screening.
Last year 2.2 million patients taking prescribed FDA Approved Drugs have experienced an Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR); of those 770,000 experienced an ADR requiring Hospitalization, and 180,000 of those patients the ADR was fatal. Genomic DNA Testing done only once in your Lifetime, will give Physicians valuable information guiding against a patient being prescribed FDA Approved medications that do not suit your Genomic variants.

As many of my friends, family and students know, I am an avid iPad adopter since its release April, 2010. With Apple’s release of the Retina-Display iPad Mini, (I sold my iPad 4 to Gazelle.com) applied the proceeds to purchase the "mini" with 128GB of Storage, AT&T connectivity, plus added Logitech’s UltraThin Keyboard Cover, and an ACME MADE San Francisco rubberized thin slip-over protective case. This thin package actually fits into my trousers pocket.
