Discover Your Genetic Response to Warfarin Medication
If you’re taking Warfarin or considering this blood thinner treatment, understanding how your body uniquely processes this medication could be life-saving. Many South Africans experience unexpected responses to Warfarin due to genetic variations they never knew they had. Our CYP2C9 Gene Coumarin/Warfarin Resistance Test provides the clarity you need for safer, more effective treatment.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The CYP2C9 gene plays a crucial role in how your body metabolises Warfarin, a common blood thinner prescribed to prevent dangerous blood clots. When this gene has specific variations, it can cause your body to process the medication differently – either too quickly (leading to resistance) or too slowly (increasing bleeding risks). Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology precisely identifies these genetic markers, giving you and your doctor the information needed for personalised treatment.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Are currently taking Warfarin and experiencing unusual side effects
- Have a family history of blood clotting disorders
- Are about to start Warfarin treatment for conditions like atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, or heart valve replacement
- Have previously had complications with blood thinning medications
- Want to prevent trial-and-error dosing that could lead to serious health risks
Many patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have discovered their genetic predispositions through this test, allowing for safer medication management.
