I got a very detailed explanation from Wendela. She really works with passion and is a good listener and thinker. She really strives for the good for you! What I am also very happy about is that my data were examined by meamedica in a laboratory in Europe and that after that research is done, they destroy the data, so that I am the sole owner of my data. Meamedica has also thought about this very carefully.

Because of a bad experience with medication, I decided to do the DNA test. Despite the fact that the GP and the psychiatrist had reservations about it (they thought it was nonsense), they were honest enough to say that they had no experience with it. It's a lot of information that you have to sit down for a while to sink in. I asked questions via e-mail and I also received a detailed answer. What is very nice is that you can add any future medication use to my medication and then immediately see whether one of the genes has an influence, so that a doctor can look for an alternative.

Very glad I had this test done. The test is very extensive and the results are explained in a very understandable way, (as a layman it takes some perseverance with reading everything :)) also the personal explanation, that you can request for a fee, is very enlightening, in my case even possibly saving lives. It is also nice that you can indicate in advance which medication you want to have tested (statins in my case), even if you have never used them before. It turns out that I don't react well, my DNA, to statins, which is very important to know in advance, it saves me a lot of trouble! They have a very accessible way of communicating, both via email and via zoom. It is money well spent.

First of all, I would especially like to thank Wendela for her incredible knowledge that she shared with me in a professional manner. I have now gained so much insight into how my genes work and why my body reacts the way they do to different medications. It has been a real agony for so many years but now there is clarity, and I can share all this information with my pharmacist and hopefully also with my GP. I now also know from Wendela that I also must adjust my diet and make sure that I can deal with stress better. In short, highly recommended for anyone who has nasty side effects with some medications. Totally great I would say, thanks Wendela and have a nice evening.

This DNA/genes test has proven (to me and my practitioners) that people in this country must look beyond protocol and procedures. This is partly due to the particularly clear explanation of the results and the explanation via ZOOM. My medication for high blood pressure has changed and finally seems to be effective. Time has yet to prove this, but I feel much better about it!

I am 67 years old and have experienced several times in my life that when taking 1 or more medications, I got considerable somatic complaints. General practitioners and specialists could not bring this home. It became a quest, until I read about the DNA research. And.... Indeed, the truth came out. Gene abnormalities indicated that I could suffer quite a bit from the side effects. When general practitioners do not want to delve into this and continue to prescribe, they can make you susceptible to drug poisoning. This was the case with me. This DNA result can therefore be life-saving and a good guideline for general practitioners and specialists. In this respect, customization can also promote savings.

The tests are definitely an added value for anyone who wants to gain more insight into their physical functioning! Especially anyone who regularly must use various medications due to an illness / condition I would recommend purchasing the personal medicine test. This test not only confirmed my own feelings and experiences about hypersensitivity to certain medications, but now also contributes to the fact that I will suffer from serious side effects less often in the future. In short, I'm excited!

Great insight into a large number of genes and the variation in the amount of expression. Reading through the individual web pages for the different genes both explains what the gene is and it contains a personalized section of what the particular result means for me. I found that the genes that show much less activity were especially interesting. Going through these "poor metabolizers" and comparing them to my experience with medication in the past showed some interesting results in possibly explaining the effects of some medications. This will be a good resource to go over with my doctor when selecting between different types of medication in the future.

After receiving the results of the DNA test, we had an extensive conversation about the meaning of the data in the results, and about the relationship between the functioning of the various genes when using a number of specific medications. This may allow me, in consultation with my psychiatrist, to make a choice between medications with a little more confidence.

I'm 60 years old and I've been saying all my life that there's something wrong. There must be a reason that I react badly to medications, and other things. By pure coincidence, I saw these tests. Well, I can tell you, if only I had known this years earlier! Then I would have been spared a lot of trouble. At first, I had some doubts about whether it is good and whether it is professional. Well, professional it certainly is, 100% as far as I'm concerned. Also the consultation for the explanation of my personal results was really great!! Wendela is very professional, friendly and clear, especially for ordinary people. The guidance is very important, I think. It's a lot of money, but it's totally worth it. that's why I say: "DO IT!". And no, I don't have any shares hahaha.

Because I recently started taking medication, including antidepressants, I decided to have this test performed. I hoped to avoid a long search for the right remedy for me. Unfortunately, I had the test done a little late, so I had already started with the first drug and got a lot of side effects from it. I stopped taking that again and I am now building up with another drug. On second thought, this is better, but based on my genes it also turns out to be less suitable. In consultation with my doctor, we can now find a more suitable remedy that is less stressful for my body. The test provides a very comprehensive overview of how they work in different genes. Reading is difficult for me at the moment, which is why I requested an interview. During a zoom meeting, I was given extensive explanations and advice, in a personal, clear, friendly and for me very inspiring way. It's great that I can also put questions on the email after this conversation. It is nice to use this test to gain more insight into how my body deals with medication and how an abnormal effect of certain genes can have a negative influence on processes in my body. I found a lot of recognition and can therefore agree more with myself when it comes to my reaction to stress, for example. Apparently, the stress hormones are more difficult for me to break down. It's also good to hear that the test mainly says something about the extent to which you may be more susceptible to side effects of certain medication. It doesn't say anything about how it works. All in all, I'm glad I took the test. This allows me to make a more informed decision with my doctor when using medication.

I then had an enlightening conversation with Wendela because it is quite complicated. Then you'll understand it even better. This gives you tools and I trust myself again. The whole research and the money for it all has been well worth it to me. So I say you just have to do it! Just do it for yourself, especially if you have a lot of problems with medication use and many side effects. Just do it! greetings Annemarie

In response to my coach's request to increase my antidepressants, I wanted to know if this would be a good idea, because the DNA test had been in the news. And so I decided to do this test. This made it clear that increasing the dose was not a good idea. I appear to have variations in genes that cause antidepressants to break down slowly, so I have to be careful with higher doses. What also came out is that I have the Comt "worrier" gene. This means that it takes me 4 times longer to break down stress hormones. This was a real eye-opener for me! Actually, I knew that I am sensitive to too much stress and now have a burnout for the 2nd time. But it does feel a little less stupid that I ended up in this. And for the future, it's something to keep in mind. And there was also useful information about other medicines, should I ever need them. I also liked the fun quiz. All but one of the answers were correct.

Why would you want to know your DNA? Well, now I know what to take into account! Example: the enzyme (gene) that has to break down the vitamin K in time works too slowly for me, with the result that blood can clot sooner. This could cause a tia, cerebral hemorrhage or thrombosis. Now I have my blood checked regularly for "blood clotting time", if there is any danger in the future, I will be given blood thinners (a vitamin K inhibitor "adjusted").

By chance, I came across the website of Meamedica via a site about DNA testing from my hospital. Being curious about any side effects of medications I need to take, I decided to request a DNA test. At the end of December 2022, I quickly received the test box and before the new year, I expectantly sent my material for research. However, the results were not forthcoming and at some point I inquired why. From then on, Wendela kept me informed by e-mail. Eventually I received the results. This was followed by a very detailed explanation of the test results via Zoom, a completely new experience for me. Wendela helped me tremendously and I experienced the conversation as very pleasant. The DNA test has given me many insights into processes in my body. Although a specialist did not want to cooperate to give me a referral for a DNA test, I am very happy that I did the test anyway. It has brought me a lot. Highly recommended! Thank you!

Since I did the DNA test in 2017, I have benefitted so many times already from this useful information! Very often I have had problems with different medications, but now I can start by checking risks and suitability before problems pop up. The report exactly shows me, when problems may occur and if I try something anyway it turns out to be exactly as predicted by the report. So problems that are eventually occurring are much more efficient and faster to recognize and subsequently solve. Most medical doctors are not familiar with this kind of information and cannot handle it, help me, or even gave me useless or adverse advice, so it is great that I am able to act on my own when making choices, checking what medicine to take and how to find good alternatives. Thank you also for your great support! Very fast, very friendly and very competent :-)

My daughter has gone through many traumatic experiences with medication. She had to build up antidepressants no less than 30 times, while in the end it turned out that only the classic antidepressants work and then also guessing which ones. I then pointed her to Meamedica's DNA research. I myself was prescribed a medication by my GP; I was allowed to choose from 2 and I just chose 1, to use in case of an anxiety attack I had. So that was exactly the wrong one. With the first pill I already felt the effect. I got so many complaints. The substitute doctor shouted through the phone: "you have to increase". I replied that I had no confidence in that. It would only be noticeable after 4 weeks. I got high blood pressure, dizziness, heart palpitations, even became depressed. A blood test showed an abnormality in my thyroid gland and I ended up at internal medicine. He immediately made a note that I am allergic to this medicine, even though it can match well with other people. Together with my daughter, we requested a DNA test in mid-June 2022. With pharmacist Wendela by phone "made a journey" through the test, which is quite tough for a layman, but with the patience and clear explanation of the pharmacist I got far. An anti-depressant that fits perfectly. How you can also find out for yourself which medicines are right for you; what I need to pay attention to in terms of health. In short, a revelation for me. After this extensive conversation, I was also offered to call the pharmacist again with any questions that had arisen. I really appreciate this accessibility. I am so happy with so much information about myself, especially since in recent years I have not found the trust in my GP hopeful. Short consultations where you can hardly describe your complaints. Chapeau to Meamedica and many thanks.

If you end up at home with burnout, it can be a long search for both the causes and the tools to recover. Also the question of whether you should start taking medication and if so, which one?

It also gives peace of mind to be able to make a well-considered choice regarding medication with more prior knowledge.

I had this DNA test done because I wanted to know which antidepressants would work best for me because I had previously tried an antidepressant to which I reacted very extremely. The results of the test took a bit long but I knew this in advance and I didn't mind that. However, I was mistaken about the content of this DNA test. I thought this test was meant to see what you are missing in terms of substances and then a suitable medicine would come out of this. But it's really purely just for the side effects. Furthermore, I think the contact with meamedica is really GREAT. You will receive an immediate answer to all your questions by e-mail and you will receive a neat and comprehensive answer. They are happy to help you with any question and that is very nice. All in all, this DNA test is extremely useful if you suffer from a lot of side effects. I am glad I did this DNA test and it will be very useful for the future. Four stars because I expected the content of the test to be slightly different, but the contact with meamedica is really TOP.

Because I had a lot of problems with my medication (eye drops for glaucoma), I requested this DNA test. And what I was already afraid of has come to the fore. The different eye drops I was prescribed stayed in my body for too long, causing me to suffer from side effects, even after changing those drops. This was so bad that I had to stop. But because it was necessary to drip anyway (so as not to aggravate the glaucoma), after the results of this DNA test, I consulted with the pharmacist about which eye drops I could take without getting side effects. I've been using these eye drops for a few weeks now and I like them. By stopping the old drops, all complaints have disappeared and I feel much better. The pharmacy was also happy with this DNA test and all the results were put in my file. But I notice that both the general practitioner and some specialists, including an ophthalmologist, don't really know what to do with it. That's a shame, because they can certainly do something with it in practice to look for the right medicines. The debriefing with the test researchers was useful and explained a few things, giving you better insight to test medicines in the future to see if they are suitable for you. I was also told how my personality works. What I already thought was that I was/am HSP and this is also clear from the test. In any case, a nice confirmation about a number of personality traits, which I already thought I had. I advise everyone to take the DNA test, especially if there are medications that you can't tolerate well and that can then be taken into account. A disadvantage of the test is that it can only be viewed online by the treating physicians, who do not feel like looking it up, it turns out on closer inspection. It would be useful if some kind of document rolls out that is easy to print, so that you can hand it over to the doctor. That is impossible now and I have cut and pasted to make this possible for myself. I can also give the doctors a global result to easily see. If a doctor wants to know more, he or she can get a login code to view all the results online. The results of the DNA test took a very long time, I think there is still some profit to be made in that. That's why I give 4 stars instead of 5.

Have been taking medication since 2015 and have suffered quite a bit from side effects. If I had had access to the Personal Medicine test earlier, I would have been spared a lot of trouble. My experiences are completely in line with the results of the test. What is unfortunate is that not every practitioner uses or wishes to make use of the test results. For example, if I'm not careful, medication is still provided that is not the best choice for me. I would like to be informed if and when a practitioner consults the DNA results. After all, the data is my property. The ease with which side effects are seen as a necessary evil in the use of medication is outdated. My insurer CZ also does not see the usefulness and necessity of a DNA/medicine test, at least the test is not reimbursed. There are considerable savings to be made and the quality of life of an insured person as well as the treatment can be greatly improved if the use of medication is tailored to the patient and the right medicine is provided in the right dosage. There is still a long way to go. The communication with and guidance of Meamedica could be better, reason for me to give a rating of 4* instead of 5*. Conclusion: Extremely interesting development.

Very nice that it is possible to have a DNA test done here to find out how your body reacts to medication. Unfortunately it takes a very long time, on October 8, 2021 I sent in the test and the full results came on December 3. That is 8 weeks instead of the advertised 3 to 4 weeks. The planned explanation could not take place from my side and to date (2.5 months later) it has not been possible to make a new appointment for this. Also, given the higher price, I would have it done elsewhere if possible.

I'm very glad I took the DNA test. It provided me with much more comprehensive results than I had initially expected. The test not only examines genes that influence how medications are processed but also looks at genes related to how your body handles certain stress hormones, processes certain vitamins, and even some personality traits were linked to the tested genes. I found that very fascinating and unexpected. I also appreciate that for each gene tested, you receive detailed information about what it entails and what my personal result means for me. Where applicable, there are also dietary recommendations that could have an impact. In my case, quite a few genes were found to be different, and knowing that, along with the information I received, allows me to better take these factors into account, which I'm very happy about. Due to the lab being busy because of COVID, it took much longer than usual to receive my results, which was understandable given the circumstances. However, I felt that the communication about this could have been more proactive. Additionally, there were some technical issues with emails not being received, but fortunately, that was resolved. Despite these minor drawbacks, they were more than compensated for. There is a tremendous level of personal service and dedication to the work. You really feel supported, and it doesn't just stop with the results in a report; there's also a significant focus on aftercare. They take the time to answer all your questions personally and provide detailed explanations. I also had a lengthy phone conversation where the test results were thoroughly discussed with additional explanations and even some customized advice. They also take the time to address follow-up questions, which I find incredibly valuable and a great added benefit. In short, I am very satisfied.

Due to severe menopausal symptoms, I previously had a DNA test to see how I metabolize hormones, but only two genes were tested. Since I have always been sensitive to medications and sometimes react negatively, I wanted to take this comprehensive DNA test. I was curious to know which medications would cause the least side effects or if the dosage needed to be adjusted. Collecting the DNA sample was simple and clearly explained in the instructions. Unfortunately, due to COVID, it took a long time to receive the results. Fortunately, I could email Mijnmedicijn and always received a quick response. When the results were ready, I could easily view them through my account. The explanation was easy to understand, even for those unfamiliar with the topic. You can also easily add your medications to see how they interact with certain genes. For further explanation and interpretation, I had a phone call with a pharmacist from Mijnmedicijn. The conversation was very pleasant and thorough, focusing on my personal profile. I now have more insight into how I process medications, allowing for better dosage adjustments. This can help in discussions and coordination with your GP, specialist, and pharmacist, who may not have as much knowledge in this area.

The reason I decided to have my DNA tested for genes involved in processing medications was that my GP and I had been searching for the right antidepressant and the correct dosage for a while. I also wanted to know which medications I should avoid in general and what alternatives might be available. Collecting the DNA sample was quite simple and clearly explained in the instructions. Due to COVID, it took a bit longer for the results to come in, but in the meantime, I could email Mijnmedicijn for updates. I always received a response, even in the evenings. Eventually, all the results were available and easy to find through my account. Fortunately, there was also an option to receive further clarification over the phone with a pharmacist. The conversation was very pleasant and thorough. For me, several things clicked into place, making it much easier to manage my symptoms. I now know which medications I should avoid in the future (in my case, statins for high cholesterol). In my opinion, the importance of a pharmacogenetic test is significant. It provides insight, works preventively, and can help guide conversations with your GP, specialist, pharmacist, etc. The contact with Mijnmedicijn has been very positive: they fully stand behind their work and their clients/patients, and they are willing to share a lot of knowledge.

Absolutely 5 stars! I'm so glad this test is available! Recently, someone informed me about the existence of this DNA test. I have been suffering from severe side effects of medication for years, and often the medication makes me sicker than the condition itself. Within a few weeks after sending the test, I received an email stating that the results were available in my personal account on Mijnmedicijn. During a phone call, the results were discussed with me, and it was clarified what the poorly or barely functioning genes could mean for medication breakdown/accumulation and which foods, medications, and supplements could further influence this. From now on, my GP, pharmacist, and specialists can log into my account via the doctors' module and adjust my medication in terms of variant and dosage. I am very happy about this because I have had severe reactions to medication, and I hope we can minimize these in the future.

Additionally, my CYP4F2 gene, which is involved in blood clotting, functions less effectively. That is still being investigated. All in all, I am glad I had the DNA test done.

In 2020, I had a DNA test done through "mijnmedicijn" to assess the quality of genes involved in my medication use. This provided important insights into blood clotting, cholesterol function, and the use of statins. This is particularly important for me due to a significant stroke I had in 2012.

Because I experienced a number of problems due to medication that I would rather have been ahead of, I was immediately interested in taking the DNA test of this site. This test provides insight and explains why medicines work well/less well. I can also fill in medicines that I might want to use in the future and I can then see if they may be processed delayed. Until now I didn't feel understood if I couldn't take a drug again. It appeared to explain that certain drugs had a stronger side effect than normal for me. But there was also other information about certain genes that I have that can also help me well. I have also added a practitioner (my GP) who will then have a complete overview of the results and therefore have a good insight into any future adjustments to my medication. However, I did need the telephone discussion to be able to understand the whole thing properly. I recommend this test wholeheartedly. I wish everyone responsible use of medicine. My rating is therefore 5 stars.

We have been able to extract valuable information from the DNA test for us. However, we did need the telephone debriefing to be able to fully understand it. That debriefing was very clear. Our rating is therefore 5 stars.

I definitely give this program 5 stars. The program is very accessible as well as the administrators. Especially the pharmacist. The program is very client friendly and easy to use. The scan indicates whether there are any conflicts with the use of medicines, especially those based on DNA strands. You can add your doctor as practitioner so that he can first see if there is any conflict when he wants to prescribe something. You can also take the program with you on your phone or iPad. If you do not understand something, they are immediately willing to help you. I have discovered a lot as I use a lot of medication. As far as I am concerned, nothing but compliments. Worth more than 5 stars, as far as I'm concerned.

The idea of using a DNA test to arrive at a better choice and dosage of medicines really appeals to me. After sending my saliva sample, it took several weeks before I got the results. However, the wait was rewarded. After filling in my medicines on the site and the pleasant and clear telephone explanation, everything became clear. Thank you again and here are the number of stars you deserve.

Do most of the stars you have. I have taken the DNA test and received a very good explanation by telephone. Good service.

I can recommend a DNA test at this site for everyone: young or old, sick or healthy, male or female, for 2 reasons:

1. It provides valuable insight into how our body is 'made', allowing you to see at an early stage whether you have a predisposition (predisposition or increased risk factor) to certain conditions. You can also determine the effectiveness of the medicines used and to be used, for you personally! So never again let the doctor send you home with a load of pills without knowing if it suits you!

2. With this site, everything is neatly and professionally arranged, with personal follow-up, advice and guidance, not only in administering the test itself, but also in any follow-up processes. This test should be mandatory for everyone, I think it's that important!

I had a DNA test done in connection with various medications that I am taking. The description that came with the package to take a sample of cheek mucus from myself was clear. After about 4 weeks I got a result. I can find a lot of extra information and explanation on my personal account. I can also ask to see what certain combinations of medicines do. I had some questions by email and they were dealt with very well. I even got a call. I was able to make a printout for my doctor, but that information is very limited, much less than on my account. My doctor has contacted with my consent and has suggested creating a treating physician portal that can be activated by the patient itself. They also started working on that and that will soon be tried out by me, I understood. If I start using other medication in the future, my profile will automatically adjust. Before I decide to try a medicine, I can also have it assessed through my DNA profile. I paid the costs myself, it is not cheap and I actually think that the health insurance should cover it or part of it. Taking unsuitable medication for years with a chronic illness also costs money.

Because I experienced a number of problems due to medication that I would rather have been ahead of, I was immediately interested in taking the DNA test of this site. Actually, I thought it was exciting to hand over my DNA and of course I had to think about the costs. When I read the other reviews and researched a little more about the test and looked at information about the company involved, I decided to do it. The test kit was easy to use and the results came earlier than I expected and with a clear and understandable explanation. It appeared to explain that certain medicines had a stronger effect and side effect than normal for me. But there was also other information about certain genes that I have that can also help me well. That was quite a surprise, the explanation was very clear there too. I also recognize things that come out of this, such as a slightly delayed blood clotting (those big bruises). I can also fill in medicines that I might want to use in the future and I can then see if they may be processed with delay. Apparently you will soon be able to send a link/access for this to your doctor. I also had the opportunity to discuss my result with a pharmacist and I learned a lot from that. I also liked the communication with the site owners and you get an immediate answer, which gives confidence. All in all, I certainly do not regret taking this test. I am also going to recommend it to my environment.

I am fully convinced to give this research 5 stars. It has given me a lot of insight into my use of medication and its effect or minimal effect. But especially the compliments to the pharmacist of this company. Received an enormous amount of explanation both via email and personally over the phone. I will soon take my list to the doctor and various specialists. Because a number of side effects that I have can certainly be explained. I really want to do something with this. Of course with the doctor and the pharmacy. This is not easy because doctors have little time nowadays. It would be nice if there would be a doctor's entrance or an adequate report. I know that this is being worked on behind the scenes. For now I try to give willing doctors the program and my password (you can change it again) and ask them if they have time or if they would like to have a look. But you can also check a new medicine yourself and you can already do a lot with it. I noticed that a relatively harmless medicine such as a stomach protector did not work well. And so on a number of things. As far as I am concerned, nothing but compliments to the company and its employees. Specifically, I would also like to compliment the pharmacist who even called during a business trip. That's good service.

Very satisfied with the pharmacogenetic research that I had conducted here. Vague complaints which seemed to be caused by medication use were the direct reason for me to investigate. The results are presented in an understandable form and provide a unique insight into your own DNA. The possibility is offered to ask additional questions as soon as the results are known and if not everything is clear yet. The impact on my personal situation is great, I can now, in collaboration with a specialist, better “tailor” the medication to my body and I can now avoid particularly unpleasant side effects of medicines. It is actually strange that pharmacogenetic research is not yet a standard procedure for specialists, with the information problems with medication can be prevented, which until now had to be determined by experiment. From my perspective, this test is well worth its price.

I think this kind of tests are certainly a matter of trust, even via the internet. I work in healthcare and am very interested in new technological developments in this field. Person-centered treatment plays an increasingly important role in health care. I believe, and many others with me, that privacy is extremely important in this regard. In my opinion, this site is at the forefront in the Netherlands and Europe by indicating that the results of my DNA test are also my property. And that these results may not be used for other purposes without my permission. The test arrived quickly and after a few weeks the results were in. I find the explanation on the site about this very clear and good. My personal opinion is that this site should also prominently indicate that my data is really my property. After all, that is a very strong point! Other strengths are that the test is very comprehensive and that even more genes will be added when more information is available, I understand. After the results of the test, I soon received an email from the pharmacist with the question whether all the information was clear and whether I might need a telephone call to explain the results. I have done that. The pharmacist really took the time to do this. These kinds of tests are simply not cheap. I use medication and after this test I know why I have to take into account the dosage for certain medicines in connection with the risk of side effects or the effect of a medicine or certain substances in general. That is quite complex, but I can at least discuss it with my doctor or pharmacist. That's why the test is more than worth its money! A lot of other companies can learn something from this customer service as far as I'm concerned. So after these experiences I give the test, the top service and the website 4 stars. Not 5 because the strong point of the site, ownership of your own data, should be emphasized even more. Obviously that's just my personal opinion.

I have been taking antidepressants for several months now and I feel these are not working properly. I also had a lot of side effects from the medication. My husband pointed me to the DNA test for my medication. After reading the website, we ordered the DNA test and received it very quickly. Fortunately, the results followed quickly, and a very good explanation! It's nice to know which gene I have. I also found out that those many side effects really had to do with my DNA, I am just mega sensitive. I could email them some questions (a response within a few hours!) and I even had a nice telephone conversation about the results. All in all, I really advise everyone to take a DNA test, it is a bit of an expense but definitely worth it. I am never really quick to believe in these studies, but this has certainly proven otherwise. If you are not sure if you have the right medication, I will really advise you this test. Actually, doctors in the Netherlands should perform a test before they prescribe medication in a standard dosage and that saves people a lot of searching and fears. If I knew I was so sensitive, I would have liked to build up much more slowly with my medication.

I personally give this personal DNA medicine test 5 stars. The reason is: it is a well-understandable test.
A test that you can show to general practitioners and specialists, but which in my case has made a lot very clear to me. Until now, I did not feel understood if I could not handle a medicine again. Now it is black on white why this works differently for me. A good example is that now that I know that COMT gen is not working well, I've come to understand why I remain so stiff from the stress long after fear and shock. I've always thought that I was a weak person who could not bear anything. But now I see myself and the doctors in a different light. Even the medicines that I break down badly according to my DNA, I always had to defend. Now I put the DNA on the table.
It is only a pity that doctors have not been trained in this. We should bring that to the attention of future doctors...
Furthermore, I would recommend it to anyone who has difficulty taking medicines. But also for those who do not, it is a beautiful document about yourself that gives the truth about yourself. It has nothing to make you worry about the future. That's why many people recommend it to you. I now face the future with more tranquility and if I had been able to do this earlier I would have been spared a medicine poisoning. I wanted to write a short and concise report, but my enthusiasm is so great.

I give 5 stars because this site is extremely informative and user-friendly. The explanation of the results and the underlying information is described clearly and comprehensibly. It is a clear story for me, with which you can do something right away. The person-oriented explanation of how the Genes work and the delay or acceleration factors are clear and well presented. The recommendations and advices are clearly and correctly described. The user-friendliness of the site and service are sensational. I also recognize certain complaints and side effects in the descriptions that both I and the doctors could not interpret earlier and that were often dismissed as almost impossible.
This test has given me and my treating physicians a great deal of insight, why I often respond paradoxically and with enormous and partly very severe side effects to certain medications, and why, for example, a necessary chemotherapy became life-threatening and I had to stop prematurely. For me personally, the knowledge of certain results gives me peace of mind and I can also accept things better now that I understand the reason. This information also gives me the opportunity to search for specific information myself, so that I can talk to specialists at the same level and help determine my treatment policy actively. This gives me conscious and clear decisions and therefore a high acceptance of any consequences; after all, I chose for it myself within the possibilities! I am now finally being taken seriously by my doctors with my always crazy reactions that "no one ever has", making me almost feel like a hysteric hypochondriac before. Now it's clear to everyone.
The support is also exceptional for me! The quick and patient, comprehensive answers to all my questions were always fantastic! Thanks to these results and your fantastic help, I have been able to record my personal treatment plan in more or less self-management. Without this information and your support I would be now at a completely different point, I am very grateful for that!
I recommend this test to everyone, I have already recommended it to many people. This test should actually become standard with certain treatments, many tests - low costs - much less drug misery! A great initiative, meaningful and super interesting !!! Thank you!!!

I was very well helped by you, I always received a response to my e-mails with questions. And as far as the DNA test is concerned, everyone should do it.

The link/relationship with the "involved" medicines, including those that are not taken by the user, may be easier. Eg. a hyperlink by clicking on the gene. Update: I may have overlooked it last time, but now I see indeed that per gene via "affected medicines" the list of affected medicines is listed as I intended, so my previous comment is no longer relevant. What is useful, perhaps, is also a reverse approach, so not via the gene, but vice versa. In my opinion, a doctor still selects a medicine based on a complaint pattern and practical experience and it is easy to also have a list/table with the medicines involved and the reference to the genes. I don't use any medication now, but the results can probably be used if I ever switch antidepressants. Would I recommend this test? I find that difficult for someone else to say, since it only has a partial influence. But I choose yes, because this is the future.

This test provides insight and explains why medicines work well or less well. In addition, the explanation/guidance is perfectly arranged.
I am going to take the data from the results to the doctor for any future changes to my medication.
I would definitely recommend this test!

Clear general explanation. In addition to being very clear, the personal explanation is also very extensive. Gives a good picture of how the gene works and the advantages and disadvantages of medication. Removes unrest!
I will pass the data on to the doctor and possibly have additional blood tests done. I wholeheartedly recommend this test. I wish everyone a responsible use of medication. This can prevent a lot of misery.
We are very happy with your help and thank you very much!!

I give this test 5 stars because of the scope of the test and the careful explanation.
I do not use medication now, but have had this test carried out for the future. Now I know what to look out for when talking to my doctor about a possible blood test. I also received important information from the test for future operations and medication use.
I would recommend this test to everyone! Important medical information is available when it is needed or when you are being asked about it.

First, the full 5 stars on all levels.
I will discuss this test data bit by bit with my treating doctor and pharmacy. I am aware that I have to do this with caution as doctors are rather skeptical about examinations performed by third parties. I have already made the first move and I noticed a cautious restraint with my specialist, but it was certainly not a closed door. This will be therefore continued.
For me personally this test offers a certain peace. I can better accept the somewhat severe side effects now that I understand the reason. At the hospital I am assigned to a group of people who use pazopanib and other medication, but I now know why I sometimes respond differently to medication. The great thing is that I can explain this to the doctors, but especially to myself. (Understanding, acceptance and possible adjustment).
I will certainly introduce any changes to my current medication use in this site: this way I have an insight into whether the dosage or type of medication is the right one. I can discuss this with the pharmacy and/or doctor. The explanation of the results and the underlying information is described clearly and comprehensibly. It was a clear story for me without too much unnecessary information. I recognize certain complaints in the descriptions that both I and the doctors could not explain earlier. The person-oriented explanation of how a Gene works and the deceleration or acceleration factors are a nice reference work that you can use to get started. I'm very happy with it. The recommendations and advices are clear and clearly defined and are certainly achievable.
The user-friendliness of the site and service are certainly above average. The average computer user (and I am certainly one of them) can easily find his way.
This test is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to keep control of his medication and who is committed to good health.
