What PGX Does

Stop Guessing. Start Prescribing With Data.

Pharmacogenetic testing — PGX — analyzes a patient's DNA top redict how they'll metabolize specific medications. Instead of trial-and-error prescribing, you get a clear picture of which drugs are likely to work, which to avoid, and which need dose adjustments.

For patients on multiple medications, with treatment-resistant conditions, or in long-term care settings where adverse drug reactions carry real risk, PGX moves prescribing from educated guess to informed decision.

The Panels

Panels Built Around Real Prescribing Decisions

Each panel is designed for a specific clinical context and tests the medications you're actually prescribing — not a generic dump of every gene-drug interaction in the literature.

Neuropsych Panel

For psychiatrists, mental health facilities, recovery centers, and behavioral health programs. Our pharmacogenomic Neuropsych Panel analyzes how your patients' genes may affect their response to medications commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other behavioral health conditions — helping clinicians identify which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work, or may have an increased risk of side effects.

Best fit for: Outpatient psychiatry, inpatient behavioral health, residential recovery, dual-diagnosis programs.

Pain Management Panel

Built for pain specialists managing patients on opioid and adjunctive therapy. Tests metabolism of common narcotics, NSAIDs, musclerelaxants, and neuropathic pain agents — so you can identify ultra-rapidmetabolizers, poor metabolizers, and patients at elevated risk before titration becomes a problem.

Best fit for: Interventional pain practices, chronic pain clinics, palliative care, post-surgical pain management.

Cardiopulmonary Panel

Covers the cardiovascular and pulmonary medications where genetic variation most directly affects outcomes — including anticoagulants, antiplatelets, statins, beta-blockers, and select bronchodilators.

Best fit for: Cardiology, pulmonology, anticoagulation clinics, primary care managing complex cardiac patients.

For Long-Term Care & Skilled Nursing

Built for the Realities of Long-Term Care

Long-term care residents are the highest-risk PGX populationin medicine — polypharmacy is the norm, adverse drug events drive avoidablehospitalizations, and behavioral health populations in skilled nursing andLevel-One psych facilities are often on regimens that have never beengenotype-matched.

Why MD Diagnostics

Why MDD for PGX

Performed entirely in-house. No referencelabs. No handoffs. As one of the few independent labs in the Midwest running pharmacogenetic testing on-site, we control the timeline and the quality from specimen to report.
Independent and family-owned. We answer to our clients, not to a health system or private equity ownership.
Built on a clinical foundation. Our lab has been running molecular and toxicology testing since 2008. PGX is an extension of work we've been doing well for years — not a side experiment.
Real support. When you have a question about a result, you get a human who knows the answer.
