Protect Yourself from Dangerous Medication Side Effects
If you’re about to start Irnotecan chemotherapy or have been diagnosed with Gilbert Syndrome, you deserve to know how your body will process this powerful medication. Our Irnotecan Toxicity Assessment provides the genetic clarity you need for safer treatment planning.
Understanding Your Irnotecan Toxicity Assessment
This specialised genetic test examines your UGT1A1 gene, which plays a crucial role in how your body processes Irnotecan chemotherapy. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to severe toxicity and dangerous side effects. Our assessment gives you and your doctor the information needed to adjust dosages or consider alternative treatments before complications arise.
Using gold-standard Sanger Sequencing technology, we provide 99.9% accurate results that your medical team can trust for making critical treatment decisions.
Who Should Take This Life-Saving Test?
- Patients prescribed Irnotecan chemotherapy – Before starting treatment to prevent severe side effects
- Individuals with Gilbert Syndrome diagnosis – To understand your genetic risk profile
- Patients experiencing unexpected reactions – To identify genetic causes of medication intolerance
- Those with family history of medication sensitivity – For proactive health management
- Cancer patients seeking personalised treatment – To optimise chemotherapy effectiveness and safety
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
This assessment isn’t just another test – it’s your protection against potentially life-threatening medication reactions. By understanding your genetic makeup, you can:
- Avoid severe toxicity that could hospitalise you or delay treatment
- Receive personalised dosing tailored to your genetic profile
- Reduce treatment interruptions caused by unexpected side effects
- Gain peace of mind knowing your treatment plan is genetically informed
- Improve treatment outcomes through better medication management
Understanding Your Results – Clear Guidance, Less Anxiety
We know waiting for genetic test results can be stressful. That’s why we provide clear, easy-to-understand reports with your doctor’s guidance. Your results will show whether you have genetic variations that affect Irnotecan metabolism, helping your medical team:
