Prescribing the right medication for the right patient at the right time is sometimes a risky business. To help eliminate this risk, Physicians Risk Management joined forces with Compounded Solutions of Monroe, CT to design and build a new highly complex molecular lab, Advanced Genetics Lab, llc (AGL) location on Main St in Monroe, Ct.
AGL specializes in pharmacogenetic testing and is a CLIA certified, HIPAA compliant, laboratory. AGL specialize in high-complexity molecular genetic testing, and pharmacist mediated medication management. AGL generates report on an individual’s ability to metabolize drugs and every report is reviewed by a compounding pharmacist. Thus providing physicians with a clear picture of how a patient will metabolize a medication prior to prescribing it!
The implementation of pharmacogenetic testing protocol helps physicians make informed treatment decisions. This can lead to better patient outcomes by decreasing adverse drug events and by increasing the effectiveness of drugs using data, research, science and the analysis and interpretation of the data by a licensed Healthcare Provider. With the knowledge of a patient’s genetic status physicians are better equipped to predict patient response to certain drugs and optimize treatment protocols. This ushers in the era of “personalized medicine,” where drug combinations and dosages are optimized for each individual’s unique genetic makeup.
