Pharmacogenomic Testing
You have tried a medication that was supposed to help. It did not. Or worse, it caused side effects that felt harder to manage than the condition itself. Pharmacogenomic testing at SeeBeyond Medicine in Scarsdale, NY and Greenwich, CT reveals how your DNA affects the way your body processes drugs — before you fill another prescription.
Test, don't guess. Your genetics already hold the answers.

About This Service
What Is Pharmacogenomic Testing?
Pharmacogenomics is the study of how inherited genetic variations — particularly polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes and drug transporter genes — influence an individual's absorption, metabolism, efficacy response, and adverse reaction risk to pharmaceutical medications.
SeeBeyond Medicine uses pharmacogenomic testing to replace trial-and-error prescribing with DNA-guided therapy. Your results reveal whether you metabolize specific drugs too quickly, too slowly, or at a standard rate.
This is not experimental medicine. Pharmacogenomic testing is endorsed by the FDA and supported by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium. SeeBeyond Medicine brings this evidence-based tool into integrative clinical practice.
Conditions Treated
Medication Failures and Side Effects
Patients who have tried multiple antidepressants, pain medications, or blood thinners without success are often poor or ultra-rapid metabolizers for those drug classes. SeeBeyond Medicine identifies the genetic reason behind the failure.
Benefits
End Trial-and-Error Prescribing
End Trial-and-Error Prescribing
The conventional approach to medication selection relies on diagnosis codes and guidelines. Pharmacogenomic testing adds your genetic blueprint. SeeBeyond Medicine uses both to prescribe the right drug at the right dose the first time.
Prevent Adverse Drug Reactions
Adverse drug reactions account for over 100,000 deaths annually in the United States. CYP450 enzyme testing identifies patients at elevated risk before a prescription is written. SeeBeyond Medicine integrates this data into every prescribing decision.
One Test, Lifetime Value
Your pharmacogenomic profile never changes. A single test at SeeBeyond Medicine informs every future medication decision — from surgery preparation to chronic disease management. The value compounds with every prescription.

Your SeeBeyond Medicine physician reviews your current medications, past adverse reactions, and treatment goals. This conversation determines which pharmacogenomic panel provides the most actionable data for your situation.
02.
2. Simple Cheek Swab Collection
A painless buccal swab collects your DNA sample at our Scarsdale or Greenwich office. No blood draw is required. The appointment takes less than fifteen minutes.
03.
3. Genetic Analysis of Drug Metabolism Pathways
The laboratory analyzes variants in CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, VKORC1, and additional pharmacogenes. Each gene is classified by metabolizer status: poor, intermediate, normal, rapid, or ultra-rapid.
