Understanding Your Body’s Response to Colchicine Treatment
If you’ve been struggling with gout or inflammatory conditions and noticed that colchicine isn’t working as effectively as expected, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face the frustration of medications that should work but don’t – and it’s not your fault. Our ABCB1 Gene Colchicine Resistance Test provides the answers you need to understand your unique genetic makeup and why your body responds differently to this essential treatment.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The ABCB1 gene plays a crucial role in how your body processes and responds to colchicine, a medication commonly prescribed for gout and other inflammatory conditions. When this gene has specific variations, it can affect how effectively colchicine works in your system. Our advanced NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your ABCB1 gene to identify these variations, giving you and your doctor valuable insights for creating a treatment plan that actually works for you.
Is This Test Right For You?
Consider this test if you experience:
- Poor response to colchicine treatment despite proper dosing
- Recurrent gout attacks while on colchicine therapy
- Need for higher than usual colchicine doses to achieve effect
- Family history of medication resistance or unusual drug responses
- Multiple medication trials without satisfactory results
If you’re tired of trial-and-error approaches to your treatment, this genetic insight could be the breakthrough you need.
Transform Your Treatment Journey
Discovering your ABCB1 gene status empowers you with:
- Personalised Treatment Plans: Your doctor can tailor medications specifically to your genetic profile
- Reduced Treatment Delays: Avoid weeks or months of ineffective therapy
- Cost Savings: Prevent spending on medications that won’t work for you
- Peace of Mind: Understand the biological reasons behind treatment responses
- Better Health Outcomes: Move toward more effective management of your condition
