Too many drugs on the Green list

Too many drugs on the Green list. Atto needs to recommend a top three. Otherwise, a very efficient service.

Delighted with the in depth report

My GP had recommended a prescription for me and I was able to check there’d be no adverse effects. The test was easy to do, the results were received promptly and were comprehensive.

The Customer Service Is Great

The customer service is great. The team are very responsive and proactive with their customers. They always return calls if not immediately available. They listen to questions, desired options and work hard to apply good suggestions.

Their products and services are good and very helpful for my clinical practice.

Fast and Extremely Helpful Test Results

I ordered the cardiovascular test as I had refused statins based on friends suffering side effects and wanted to assess whether I was statin intolerant. The stated turnaround time of up to 14 days was well met with a result within 6 days of taking the sample.

The test report, which is exceptionally well presented and clear, showed that had I gone blindly to the GP the NICE guideline 1st and 2nd line statin choices would have resulted in moderate side effects. I can now approach the GP with an informed choice that will hopefully result in reduced cholesterol.

Excellent Service

I recently used AttoDiagnostics for pharmacogenomic testing and was really impressed with the entire experience. The recommendations were clear and practical, and I was able to forward the report to my doctor, who also found it very useful for ongoing treatment decisions. It’s rare to receive this level of depth and clarity in such a specialised area of healthcare. Highly recommend Atto Diagnostics to anyone looking for accurate genetic testing with thorough analysis and human-centred support.

What’s Inside Your Personalised PGx Report

Your genetics affect how your body metabolisers different medications. Use your report to discover which gastro medications work best for you based on how your body processes them.

  1. Example Report

    Medication Summary

    A quick reference guide listing medications relevant to your condition, categorised and numbered by the magnitude of the gene- drug interaction.

  2. Example Report

    Medication Summary Table

    This section provides a more detailed overview of the medications relevant to certain medical conditions. Each drug is categorised as follows:

    - Mild or no known gene-drug interaction (use as recommended)
    - Moderate gene-drug interaction (adjust based on your genetic profile and conditions to achieve optimum therapeutic outcome or avoid adverse reactions)
    - Severe gene-drug interaction (review based on likely adverse drug reaction risk and choose alternative medication)

  3. Example Report

    Medication Report

    A detailed breakdown of each medication, including your phenotype, gene-drug interactions, and what these mean for your treatment.

How Pharmacogenomic Testing Works

Pharmacogenomics (PGx) looks at how your genes affect the way medications work. We make it simple.

Step 1

Sample Collection

Collecting your sample is easy and straightforward! We use a gentle cheek (buccal) swab which will be sent to you in the post. Collecting DNA from your saliva is the first step in unlocking your response to different medications.

Sample Collection

Step 2

Genetic Analysis

Your sample is processed in our accredited UK laboratory. We analyse 120 genetic markers linked to how your body absorbs, metabolises, and responds to medications.

Genetic Analysis

Step 3

Get Your Personalised Report

Your report will include a comprehensive look at drug-gene interactions as well as a guide on how to dose (reduce or increase) certain medications. In cases where strong drug-gene interactions exist, the report will help your healthcare provider select the right medication to minimise the risk of adverse drug reactions or treatment failure. If you don’t have a healthcare provider, we have a number of trusted experts you can turn to.

When and Why is an AttoPGx Test Appropriate for Gastrointestinal Health?

The AttoPGx Gastroenterology test is a relevant tool for people who meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Are taking or considering medications for gastrointestinal conditions like IBS, IBD, acid reflux, or Crohn’s disease
  • Feel that their current treatment is ineffective
  • Experience side effects from their current medication
  • Are hesitant to start treatment due to concerns about side effects or ineffectiveness.

By taking the test, you provide your healthcare professional with an essential tool to ensure that your prescriptions are tailored to your unique genetics. As a result, your treatment plan can be more effective and efficient.

Important

IMPORTANT: DO NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO YOUR CURRENT MEDICATION(S) WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER FIRST.

While your genetics is important, other factors also contribute to how you respond to medications. The final choice of medication used will be based on your healthcare provider’s professional judgement and may be different to what is recommended in this report. The AttoPGx test does not determine your risk of any health problem or condition. It only evaluates select portions of your DNA that help predict how you may respond to the medications covered.

Frequently asked questions

What is PGx testing for gastrointestinal health?

Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing analyses your DNA to understand how your body responds to medications used for gastrointestinal conditions, such as acid reflux, IBS, IBD, Crohn’s disease, and more. It helps healthcare professionals to tailor treatments to your unique genetic profile, ensuring medications are effective and minimising side effects.

Who can benefit from PGx testing?

This test is particularly helpful for individuals who:

  • Are taking or considering medications for gastrointestinal conditions
  • Feel their current treatment is ineffective
  • Experience side effects from medications
  • Are hesitant to start treatment due to concerns about side effects or ineffectiveness

What medications are covered in the test?

The test includes insights into key gastrointestinal medications such as proton pump inhibitors, biologics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antacids, and more.

How does the test work?

  1. Sample Collection: A cheek swab is provided in a simple at-home kit.
  2. Genetic Analysis: Your sample is analysed in our UK laboratory using cutting-edge technology to assess over 120 genetic markers relevant to response to medications.
  3. Comprehensive Report: You receive a detailed report with personalised medication recommendations and dosage adjustments, shared with your healthcare provider.

Where is the test performed?

The test is processed in a UK laboratory using advanced platforms including ThermoFisher OpenArray technology and/or Illumina iScan system, ensuring precise results.

Is the test painful?

No, the test is completely non-invasive. It involves a simple cheek swab that you can complete at home in just a few minutes.

How accurate is PGx testing?

Our testing process uses state-of-the-art technology and analyses over 120 genetic markers to provide precise, clinically actionable insights. However, genetics is just one factor influencing medication response, and results should be used in consultation with a healthcare provider.

Do I need a doctor to interpret my PGx results?

While the report is designed to be user-friendly, we strongly recommend discussing your results with your healthcare provider. They can interpret the findings in the context of your overall health and treatment plan.

How does PGx testing help reduce side effects?

By analysing your genetic profile, PGx testing identifies medications that are more likely to work for you and those that might cause adverse reactions. This helps your healthcare provider to make more informed decisions, minimising the risk of side effects.

What happens if my genetic profile suggests my current medication isn’t suitable?

Your healthcare provider may use the report to adjust your treatment plan, such as changing the medication or dosage, to find a more effective and safer option.

Can I change my medications based on the report?

No. You should never adjust your medications without consulting your healthcare provider. The PGx test provides guidance for your healthcare practitioner, who will make the final treatment decisions.
