Can the TRU-1 GLP-1 response test replace another test or GLP-1 treatment?

The TRU-1 GLP-1 response test is a genetic test, not a treatment. It cannot serve as a substitute for a prescribed GLP-1 medication. There is no drug-switching schedule for moving from a medicine to a cheek-swab test. Continue your current prescription as directed unless your treating physician recommends a change.

If you already have genetic test results, share the full report with the physician reviewing your visit. Different tests may examine different variants or use different methods. A similar gene name does not mean that two tests provide identical information. Ask whether another test would add useful information before ordering it.

A licensed physician in your state decides whether this test or a treatment change is appropriate. Genetic findings alone cannot guarantee that one medication will work better than another. Results vary. Switching medicines requires a separate review of your health history, side effects, current dose, and other prescriptions. Do not start, stop, overlap, or change medication doses based only on this genetic report.
