FAQS

Can this test help with managing menopause symptoms?

Yes. The Inagene Women's Health test can analyze how your genetics affect your response to medications used to manage menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes and mood changes. By understanding your genetic makeup, your health care provider will have the tools to identify treatments that are more likely to work effectively for you.

Can this test be used during pregnancy or postpartum?

While pharmacogenetic testing is a valuable tool for many women’s health concerns, it does not assess medication exposure risks during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, it can provide insights into how your genetics might affect medications related to postpartum mental health or pain management after childbirth. Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure the safety of any medication during these stages.

Can this test help with PMS, PMDD, or menstrual pain?

Yes. The test analyzes how your genes impact your response to medications commonly prescribed for these conditions, helping you and your doctor find options that are more likely to work, and avoid those that may cause side effects or be ineffective.

What happens to my DNA sample after the test?

In the lab, your DNA sample is identified only by a unique barcode, not by your name. This ensures that your personal identity is not linked to your genetic information during analysis. We follow careful, step-by-step procedures to protect your samples from start to finish. Your DNA is chemically destroyed when it is no longer needed.
