Overview
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a consultation with a Personalized Therapeutics Clinic, or PTC, will help participants lower the risk for side effects (drug-drug interactions and drug-gene interactions) when taking many medications and help providers improve prescribing decisions for participants. A PTC is a clinical that will test your genes to gather information about your health that may help guide prescribing advice and offer you new information about your prescriptions. Doctors leading this study will look for variations (differences) in your genes that may suggest that you are at greater risk of having side effects or a greater chance of benefiting from certain medications. Individuals in this study will participate for roughly 9 months.
