Discover How Your Body Processes Medications with CYP1A2 Gene Testing
Are you tired of experiencing unexpected side effects from medications that should be helping you? Many South Africans struggle with medication intolerance without understanding the genetic reasons behind it. The CYP1A2 Gene Cytochrome P450 Deficiency test provides the answers you’ve been searching for, revealing how your unique genetic makeup affects medication metabolism.
Understanding Your CYP1A2 Genetic Test
The CYP1A2 gene produces an essential enzyme that helps your body process and eliminate many common medications. When this gene doesn’t function optimally, it can lead to medication building up in your system or being processed too quickly, causing either toxicity or lack of effectiveness. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with 99.9% accuracy to identify any variations in this critical gene.
This isn’t just another genetic test – it’s a personalised roadmap to safer, more effective medication use that could transform your healthcare experience.
Who Should Consider CYP1A2 Gene Testing?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexpected side effects from common medications like antidepressants or pain relievers
- Family history of medication sensitivity or adverse reactions
- Chronic conditions requiring long-term medication management
- Concerns about caffeine metabolism and its effects on your health
- Previous medication treatments that didn’t work as expected
- Planning to start new medications and want to ensure safety
Many patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have discovered their medication challenges were actually genetic variations that this test identified.
