My daughter had some side effects from the meds, starting with Prozac and them side effects of weight gain and dry mouth. But the worse was finding something to stabilize the moods for anxiety panic, her OCD would make her mind go into hyper speed.

After they did a mouth swab for this test we had a list of 100 meds plus that show, good for her metabolism, poor because it is slow to metabolize or bad because she doesn't metabolize that medication.

Her medication was changed and she is much, much better. I often wonder why doctors don't order this when balancing meds and patient genotypes. http://www.iversongenetics.com/dme-genotype.html

Testing can be important for medications prescribed to treat even the most common conditions:

• Mental Health conditions
• Post MI Surgery
• Acid Reflux
• Cancer
• Organ Transplant
• Pregnancy
• Heart Failure
• High Blood Pressure
• Migraine Headaches
• Peptic Ulcer
• High Cholesterol
• Enlarged Prostate
• Asthma/COPD
• Depression

Does Insurance
Cover the DME Panel?
Medicare, Tricare and VA have covered the cost of testing when a physician judges it medically necessary. Private insurers cover the cost of testing for some patients. The main reason for private insurance denials is that genetic testing in general is not covered. However, your patient can check with the insurer if cost is a concern.
