How to Talk to Your Doctor About Pharmacogenetic Testing
Pharmacogenetic testing is so new that many physicians don't know much about it. That's not to say that physicians are doing anything wrong. Family doctors, of course, are busy caring for their patients. Even the most conscientious don't have time to read the thousands of pages of research generated annually in a brand-new field like pharmacogenetics.
The best thing you can do for yourself, and for your doctor, is simply to ask your doctor to seek information about PGXL Laboratories testing. If you like, print this and take it to your doctor. It's a letter that explains how to find out more about pharmacogenetic testing, as well as information about how to order pharmacogenetic tests. It will make it easier for your doctor to research pharmacogenetic testing, improve patient care, and lower medical costs.
