The Benefits of Precision Medicine and the Rxight Pharmacogenetics Program Include:
Optimized Dosing & Efficacy
Pharmacogenetics testing identifies patients who could be responsive or non-responsive to treatment, develop interactions, experience unwanted side effects, or require dosing adjustment. Understanding your patient’s genetics may lead to more informed prescribing decisions.
Reduced Trial & Error Prescribing
The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (www.CPICPgx.org provides peer-reviewed guidelines of how to use pharmacogenetic information. The Rxight program utilizes CPIC guidelines and FDA labeling.
Reduced Risk of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR’s)
The ongoing benefits of pharmacogenetic testing include a decreased cost in both hospitalizations and healthcare treatment due to the avoidance of ineffective therapies or severe side effects with tailored medical treatment. In fact, most pharmaco-economic studies support pharmacogenetic testing as a cost-effective and cost-saving strategy.
Achieving Desired Therapeutic Benefits for Improved Patient Outcomes
The FDA has incorporated pharmacogenetics information into drug labels and now offers a table of drugs linked to genetic biomarkers emphasizing the importance of pharmacogenetics for personalized medicine.

Our Vision
The Right Medicine … Right from the Start
MD Labs was one of the leaders in bringing Pharmacogenetics to physicians, pharmacists, and patients. Our providers were asking why seemingly similar patients were responding differently to medications. We did our research and went to work to develop the Rxight (pronounced “right”) Pharmacogenetics program, which we launched in 2014, to help answer those questions. Since then we have trained over 500 pharmacists, provided pharmacogenetic guidance to physicians throughout the US, and have helped thousands of patients.
