If you're considering taking Plavix, be sure to ask your doctor about the importance of a Plavix DNA test.
Plavix (clopidogrel) is a very effective medication for preventing clot-related events such as heart attacks or strokes. Now the success rate can be improved even further by DNA Testing and careful management of other drugs that are being taken with Plavix (clopidogrel).
The Plavix DNA test requires only a cheek swab sample to obtain your DNA. The test analyzes the CYP2C19 gene and looks for variations. This can predict your body's ability to process Plavix (clopidogrel) in order to produce the desired effect. Your test results will help you and your physician understand interactions between all of the medicines, herbals and over the counter medicines you take. They can also aid your physician in making decisions about altering the dosage or form of drugs prescribed to you to prevent interference with Plavix (clopidogrel) effectiveness and other adverse drug reactions.
Discover your genetic lnks with populations around the world. Ancestral Origins™ is the most refined and easy to understand DNA genealogy test on the market.
With this simple DNA Ancestry test, your DNA profile is compared against hundreds of global populations and fourteen anthropological regions whose collective genetic information is known and scientifically validated. We then measure the likelihood that your genetic information is linked with each of those populations and regions, and plot the results on a very high resolution map which illustrates your unique geogenetic heritage from both a per-population view, and an overall regional view. DNA genealogy has never been so easy to understand!
