Sounds like a potentially invaluable and minimally invasive tool for matching a patient with a medication that will be the most effective and appropriate for his or her condition. Since the Pharmacogenomics program is in the development stage, a patient willing to give it a try should carry an in-depth discussion with his or her physician to ensure that the recommended medication is one that has been tested and is already in extensive use, with minimal side effects. As a longtime customer of the VA who's had very good experience with the organization's medical services, I'd be willing to give pharmacogenomics a try, after discussing the process with a knowledgeable VA medical professional.
Same with my VA. They insist I have to tell them which meds I have a reaction to or the test will be canceled. IMHO it seems like this info hasn't been distributed to the VA people or they just don't read their email. I emailed the visn4pharmacogenomicsteam for advise 2 days ago but have not received a response.

Maybe this will keep them from being on 20 different medications
👏🏼👏🏿👏🏻👏👏🏽👏🏾 Thank you 🙏🏾
My VA primary care doctor said she has not heard anything about this genetics testing. She will inquire from upper-level management about this

Sounds like a great idea. Anything that helps is good for me.
This sounds like it would be good. I had a prescription that didn't work with me so this sounds like it might help. Thanks!
This sounds shady
