A new, easy-to-administer swab test can help plastic surgeons make more educated decisions on pain medications after surgery. The Harmonyx Test for pain, which retails for $99, was developed to eliminate some of the trial and error associated with choosing pain medication, including opioids. The test examines the effects of eight genes on a patient’s metabolism and the efficacy of more than 20 pain medications, ranging from common over-the-counter drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen to frequently prescribed medications like morphine, methadone, hydrocodone, codeine, and oxycodone, among others. Harmonyx provides a state-licensed physician to review each patient test request, and if deemed medically appropriate, the test is ordered on behalf of the patient. Detailed results are returned to the pharmacist and treating physician in 24 hours. To learn more, visit www.harmonyxdiagnostics.com
