Can A DNA Swab Test Report Determine The Medication For Pain Relief?
I am on pain medication for a work related injury. At my last Dr. visit, he took a DNA swab of my cheek which was required by the insurance company. He said with the results of the DNA swab, it is possible to determine the best medication for my problem. Is this really possible?
