You’re one-of-a-kind.
And so is your response to drugs.
If everyone responded the same way to medications, we would only have one antidepressant and one pain reliever on the market. The reality is very different. Medications that work for one person often don’t work well for another, and a lot of this variation is determined by our genes. This is true for all kinds of medications: over the counter remedies, prescription drugs, and even cannabis products.
Pain:
All of us experience pain at some point, and 1 in 4 Canadians live with some form of chronic pain, which can be due to a variety of factors such as accidents, sports or work injuries, chronic conditions like migraines, arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain and many more.
Both:
Pain impacts your emotions and mental health, and can significantly affect memory and focus, ability to work, relationships, and overall quality of life. Those with depression or anxiety are significantly more likely to suffer from chronic pain simultaneously or later down the road.
Mental Health:
Most of us will experience some type of mental health issue in our lifetime. Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety can have significant psychological pain that can have significant impact on our quality of life and relationships, and even our ability to think clearly and function.
Your unique genes play an important role in your individual response to different medications. The science of pharmacogenetics is the study of how genetics impact your body's ability to break down and respond to different medications.
