New Look,
New Brand,
and New Pharmacists
After more
than a decade, the medical and insurance communities are beginning to embrace
DNA-based analysis as a powerful tool in selecting and optimizing
pharmaceutical treatments. Genelex has been a consistent front-runner in these
technologies.
GeneMedRx
and our drug sensitivity tests are combining under our new YouScript™ brand. Over the next few months,
you’ll notice changes in our informational materials and a major upgrade to our
services.

For those
who haven’t taken advantage of GeneMedRx, our new YouScript™ Personalized Prescribing System is a
comprehensive, long-term solution for safer, more targeted prescribing. Most
patients taking a series of drugs have genetic variations that affect their
ability to process those drugs – to either eliminate or activate them. This
includes most classes of routinely prescribed drugs, over-the-counter
medicines, many herbal preparations, and some dietary supplements and foods.
Cytochrome P450 testing detects those genetic variations.
Now,
whenever a major or significant drug-drug or drug-gene interaction risk is
noted, YouScript™
will generate a medication advisory report including potential alternative drug
or dosing recommendations based on the patient’s DNA test results and overall
medication regimen.
To bring
more clarity to the prescribing process, we have a new team of clinical
pharmacists: Paul Verbeurgt and Tyler Mamiya. They are busy analyzing patient
medication regimens, DNA test results, and recommending specific actions to
help improve prescribing outcomes. They are available to help prescribers,
patients, and other pharmacists understand specific cases and to guide users in
getting the most out of the YouScript™
system.

Where do I go to get a report from my DNA testing from You Script. I have some severe interactions but can not get off some of the meds. How do I understand a way to take the meds at such times that they do not interact so severely?
