Do the medicines your parents take actually fit their body?
Most prescriptions are trial and error. One DNA test reads how your mother or father processes 100+ medicines, and flags the ones that won't work, need a different dose, or could do harm. Done once, it protects every prescription for the rest of their life.
Every new prescription is a guess.
Two people with the same illness can need very different medicines, because their bodies break down drugs differently. For a parent on several prescriptions, that guesswork stacks up: a blood thinner that doesn't protect them, a painkiller that does nothing, a dose that quietly causes side effects. Their genes hold the answer, and it only has to be read once.
How their body handles the medicines that matter.
Blood thinners like clopidogrel and warfarin, where the wrong response is dangerous
Statins for cholesterol, and the muscle-pain risk some people carry
Painkillers like codeine and tramadol that don't work for everyone
Antidepressants and nerve-pain medicines that often take months to get right
Acidity, diazepam-type and many heart medicines across 100+ drugs
Every medicine is sorted into three plain results: works normally, adjust the dose, or avoid and use caution.

Avoid / use caution
Clopidogrel
Blood thinner (after stent / stroke)
Reduced activation. Doctor may prefer an alternative like prasugrel.
Codeine
Pain relief
Little pain relief from codeine. Ask about a different painkiller.
Simvastatin
Cholesterol
Higher muscle-pain risk at high doses. A lower dose or different statin fits better.
Warfarin
Blood thinner
More sensitive than average. A lower starting dose is safer.
Amitriptyline
Nerve pain / sleep
Clears slowly. Start low to avoid side effects.
Omeprazole
Acidity / reflux
Standard dosing works well.
Metformin
Type 2 diabetes
Expected, typical response.
Amlodipine
Blood pressure
Standard dosing works well.
For their doctor
Two medicines need attention before the next prescription: codeine is unlikely to relieve pain and clopidogrel may be less effective, so an alternative is worth discussing. Statin, warfarin and amitriptyline doses should start low. Everything else can be prescribed as usual.
Illustrative sample. Not a real patient or diagnosis.
Six reasons it's worth doing this year.
Stop the trial and error
No more 'try this and see' with your parents' health. One test reads how their body handles medicines, before the next prescription.
The right dose, first time
For medicines they already take, the report flags whether the dose fits their genetics or needs adjusting.
Fewer bad reactions
Older adults on several medicines face the highest risk of harmful interactions. This helps their doctor avoid the ones their body can't handle.
Doctor-ready, not homework
A plain-language report plus a one-page summary they can hand to any doctor. A free doctor consultation is included.
Test once, use for life
Their DNA does not change. One sample protects every prescription they will ever be given.
A gift they can't dismiss
Hard to say no to 'I want your medicines to be safe.' It lands as care, not another expensive gadget.
