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.

Clear results and excellent communication

I used AttoDiagnostics for pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing and was impressed from start to finish. Communication was excellent; proactive updates, quick responses, and clear next steps at every stage. The results were easy to understand, with practical guidance that helped me have a more informed conversation with my clinician. No jargon, no pressure, just transparent, professional service. If you’re considering PGx testing to optimize medications, I highly recommend AttoDiagnostics for their clarity and customer care.

  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) testing is a straightforward procedure involving an at-home buccal swab to collect DNA, followed by laboratory testing and results delivery. Here’s an overview of the key steps involved:

Step 1

Sample Collection

Our preferred method is a cheek swab. The kit includes full instructions and a pre-paid return envelope. It’s painless and takes under a minute to complete.

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

The AttoPGx Mental Health test (Psychiatry and ADHD) is a relevant tool for people who meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Are taking medication(s) to treat mental health disorders and/or ADHD
  • Feel that their current medication is ineffective
  • Experiencing side effects from taking medication
  • Are reluctant to start treatment for fear of side effects or the perception that it won't be effective.

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 road to recovery can be shorter and more effective.

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 mental health?

Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing analyses your DNA to understand how your body responds to certain medications. 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 medications for mental health disorders or ADHD.
  • Feel their current medication 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 over 37 key mental health medications coveringsuch antidepressants, antipsychotics, anti-anxiety medications, stimulants, 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.
