Ensure Your Heart Medication is Working Effectively
If you’re taking clopidogrel to prevent heart attacks or strokes, you deserve the confidence that this life-saving medication is working as intended. Our Cytochrome P450 2C19 Genotyping test provides the answers you need for personalised heart care.
Understanding Your Clopidogrel Response
Clopidogrel is a vital medication that prevents blood clots in patients with heart conditions, but approximately 30% of people have a genetic variation that makes this medication less effective. Our CYP2C19 test examines your specific genetic makeup to determine how well your body processes clopidogrel, ensuring you receive the right treatment for your unique genetic profile.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
- Patients currently taking clopidogrel for heart conditions
- Individuals with a history of stent placement or coronary artery disease
- People experiencing recurrent cardiovascular events despite medication
- Patients preparing for cardiac procedures or surgery
- Those with family history of medication resistance or cardiovascular issues
If you’ve ever wondered whether your heart medication is truly protecting you, this test provides the scientific evidence you need.
Why This Test Matters for Your Heart Health
Knowing your CYP2C19 status can be life-changing. This test helps prevent:
- Dangerous blood clots that could lead to heart attacks

Early detection allows your doctor to adjust your treatment plan, potentially switching to alternative medications that work better with your genetic profile.
