How it works
How Medication response (PGx) test works.
Medication response (PGx) test is an option in at-home labs care. Its role depends on the exact ingredients or device and the reason for treatment. Read the linked medication or condition guide for the plain-English explanation. Your clinician explains which evidence applies to this option; evidence for one formulation does not prove benefits for another.
Your physician sets the strength and schedule based on your answers, and can adjust it as you go. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality.

Medication response (PGx) test questions.
What is the dose for the Medication response (PGx) test?
The Medication response (PGx) test does not have a medication dose. It collects a cheek swab sample to check genes linked to drug metabolism. Follow the prescribing physician’s directions and the kit label for sample collection. Do not change any medicine dose based on the test alone.
How do I collect a sample for the Medication response (PGx) test?
Use the Medication response (PGx) test to swab the inside of your cheek, then mail the sample back as directed. Follow the kit label and prescribing physician’s instructions. Check any rules about eating, drinking, or mouth care before collection, and do not guess about collection times or swab counts.
What if I miss a dose or delay collecting the Medication response (PGx) test?
There is no missed dose with the Medication response (PGx) test because it is a one-time cheek swab, not a medicine. If you delay collection, check the kit label for expiration and return limits. Follow your prescribing physician’s directions, and keep taking your regular medicines as prescribed.
What side effects can the Medication response (PGx) test cause?
The Medication response (PGx) test uses a cheek swab and does not expose you to a drug. Swabbing may cause brief mouth discomfort or irritation, especially if you press too hard. Use the kit as directed. Contact a clinician for bleeding, lasting pain, or other concerning symptoms.
Does the Medication response (PGx) test interact with medicines or supplements?
The Medication response (PGx) test is a cheek swab, so it does not create drug interactions. However, your medicines and supplements still matter when a clinician reviews the report. Share a complete list, and do not stop anything for collection unless your prescribing physician tells you to.
How should I store the Medication response (PGx) test before mailing it back?
Store the Medication response (PGx) test according to the kit label, both before and after collection. Keep the supplies clean, sealed until use, and away from children and pets. Do not refrigerate, freeze, or add liquid unless instructed. Follow the listed return timing after you collect the sample.
How long does it take to get results from the Medication response (PGx) test?
A confirmed turnaround time for the Medication response (PGx) test is not listed here. Check the treatment page or ask Verra for the current estimate. Mailing time, lab processing, and sample quality can affect timing. Results vary. Review the report with your clinician before making any medication changes.
Can I stop using the Medication response (PGx) test once I have ordered it?
The Medication response (PGx) test is a one-time collection, so there is no medicine to taper or ongoing test dose to stop. If you choose not to proceed, contact Verra about your order status and options. Do not stop any prescribed medicine because you canceled testing or received a report.
Can the Medication response (PGx) test help me switch from another treatment?
The Medication response (PGx) test may inform a switch between certain medicines, but it is not a replacement treatment. Results vary. Your treating clinician must review the report with your medical history and current medicines. Do not switch, taper, or start a medicine based only on the report.
What are the price and plan options for the Medication response (PGx) test?
The current price for the Medication response (PGx) test is shown on the treatment page. This is a one-time purchase, not a refill plan. The online visit fee is $99, and the video visit fee is $149. Visit fees are non-refundable, with the credit terms explained below.
Is there a member price for the Medication response (PGx) test?
Check the treatment page or ask Verra whether a member price applies to the Medication response (PGx) test. The Verra+ medication discount does not by itself confirm a lab test discount. Online visits are included for members. This test remains a one-time purchase rather than a refill plan.
How does shipping work for the Medication response (PGx) test?
The Medication response (PGx) test involves delivery of a cheek swab kit and mailing your sample back for processing. Check checkout and the kit instructions for shipping details and return steps. Verra is available in all 50 states and DC, but some states or medications require a video visit.
