App Intro

+

Welcome to PharMe!

+

+ Did you know? Your genes help decide how medications work in your body. +
+ In fact, 9 out of 10 people might react differently to medications than expected. +
+ PharMe helps you understand how your genes affect your medications. +

+
+
+ +
+
+ Your genes are just one piece of the puzzle. Many things affect how medications work, like your weight, age, other health conditions, or other medications you are taking. +

One Size Does Not Fit All

+

+ Think of medications like shoes - one size doesn't fit all. +
+ A medication that works well for most people might not work the same way for you. +

+
+
+ warning +
+
+ Never change or stop your medications without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first. +

Genome Power Unlocked to Improve Your Health

+

+ PharMe tells you if your genes might make certain medications work differently than expected, cause unwanted side effects, or not work well enough. +
+
+ This field of medicine is called pharma-co-genomics (PGx). +

Tailored Just for You

+

+ PharMe works by looking at your gene information and checking it against what scientists know about genes and medications. +
+
+ We use information from trusted clinical PGx guidelines created by medical experts (CPIC and FDA). +

+
+
+ + + +
+
+ PharMe only includes medications with clinical PGx guidelines from CPIC and the FDA. +
+
+ While only to a small percentage of medications have PGx guidelines, they are among the most commonly prescribed ones. If you cannot find a medication in PharMe, there may not be enough evidence for meaningful gene interactions. +

+

+ We protect your privacy by storing your gene information and doing calculations only on your phone. We do not share your gene information with anyone. +
+
+ We also do not store any information that could tell someone who you are, such as your name. +
