Detail Description

Warfarin Therapeutic Response Predictive Assay (VKORC1 & CYP2C9)

Warfarin is a blood-thinning medication that is commonly used to prevent blood clots. However, the effectiveness of warfarin can vary widely between individuals, making it difficult to find the right dose. To help physicians determine the appropriate dose of warfarin, DNA Labs India offers a Warfarin Therapeutic Response Predictive Assay (VKORC1 & CYP2C9).

What is the VKORC1 & CYP2C9 Test?

The VKORC1 & CYP2C9 test is a genetic test that analyzes two genes that play a role in how the body metabolizes warfarin. Variations in these genes can affect the way the body responds to warfarin, making it more or less effective. By analyzing these genes, physicians can determine the appropriate dose of warfarin for each patient.

What are the Symptoms of Warfarin Overdose?

When a patient takes too much warfarin, they may experience symptoms such as:

• Bruising easily
