The Importance of Incorporating Drug-Drug Interactions and Lifestyle Factors in Pharmacogenomics-Guided Medication Management for Patients With Major Depressive Disorder in a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Sep 2023

In this study, drug-drug interactions accounted for 32% of all IDgenetix-guided drug recommendations, and lifestyle factors accounted for 11%. Incorporating these non-genetic factors in IDgenetix testing significantly impacts the number of drug recommendations and improves remission rates in patients with moderate to severe depression.
