Does the TRU-1 GLP-1 response test interact with medicines or supplements?

Short answer

The TRU-1 GLP-1 response test is not a drug, so it does not have drug interactions like a medication. Still, tell your prescribing physician about your medicines, supplements, and health history. Do not stop any treatment for the cheek swab unless your physician specifically tells you to.

The TRU-1 GLP-1 response test collects cheek cells to look at gene variants. It does not deliver an active drug into your body. For that reason, medication interactions are not the same concern they would be when starting a new prescription. This does not mean every person or every sample is suitable for testing.

Tell the ordering physician about your medicines, supplements, health conditions, and relevant medical procedures. This helps the physician assess whether testing is appropriate and how to interpret the report. A licensed physician in your state makes that decision. Do not stop a prescribed medicine or supplement solely because you are collecting a cheek swab.

Follow the kit’s preparation rules for food, drinks, and oral care products. These are sample collection instructions, not drug interaction warnings. If you use a medicine in your mouth and the collection timing is unclear, ask for guidance. Any GLP-1 medication prescribed separately has its own interaction risks, which require a separate medication review.
