Patients suffering from Depression? Bipolar disorder? Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder? ADHD? Schizophrenia?
DNA MAKES US UNIQUE
Neuropharmagen® will help healthcare professionals deliver the right treatment to the right patient
A prior medical diagnosis of a mental health disorder is required.
Always talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns related to your treatment and/or symptoms. Self-medication may have serious effects on your health.
What is Neuropharmagen® and how can it help?
Neuropharmagen® is a CE-marked in vitro diagnostic medical device software intended to help healthcare professionals in the selection and dosing of psychoactive drugs.
Interpreting the patient’s genetic profile, Neuropharmagen® provides information on factors involved in the response and tolerability of drugs indicated for the treatment of depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, among others.
Healthcare professionals can choose between different drug alternatives for each patient, based on a comprehensive pharmacogenetic report specifically developed for mental health.
Why is genetics important?
Patients with mental health conditions often present low response or adverse effects to medication.
Differences in the response to antidepressants and other psychoactive drugs are due, in part, to common genetic variants.

Benefits
EFFICACY
-
Increases the chances of treatment success
Neuropharmagen® helps healthcare professionals to find the right drug that may be most effective and increase the chances of response.
SAVES TIME
-
Avoids long ‘trial-and-error’ periods
Neuropharmagen® increases the chances of identifying an effective treatment plan without going through multiple ‘trial-and-error’ attempts.
SAFETY
-
Prevention of side effects
Neuropharmagen® helps to anticipate information on drug safety, identifying DNA variants associated with specific adverse events.
OPTIMIZATION
-
Specific dose adjustments
Neuropharmagen® provides dosing recommendations by identifying the patient’s metabolizer profile.
PROVEN CLINICAL UTILITY
- Neuropharmagen® has demonstrated its clinical utility in two randomized trials and additional clinical studies performed in leading mental health institutions worldwide.

Which patients may benefit more from the use of Neuropharmagen®
Non-responders
Neuropharmagen® helps identify a more effective treatment according to the patient’s genetic profile, after the first therapeutic failure.
Medication intolerant patients
Neuropharmagen® proposes other treatments or dose adjustments for improving tolerability.
Particulary sensitive patients
For example, patients who are polymedicated owing to psychiatric and non-psychiatric diseases.
98% of patients tested with Neuropharmagen were satisfied with the results and recommended this test.

Why us?
Our commitment is to improve the quality of life of people with mental health conditions. We are a dedicated team of highly qualified geneticists, molecular biologists, and software engineers, providing state-of-the-art technology for healthcare specialists.
Precision medicine (PM) is a medical model that proposes the customization of healthcare, with medical decisions, treatments, practices, or products being tailored to a subgroup of patients, instead of a one‐drug‐fits‐all model. In PM, diagnostic testing is often employed for selecting appropriate and optimal therapies based on the context of a patient’s genetic information or other molecular or cellular analysis. Tools employed in PM can include molecular diagnostics, imaging, and analytics.
Among the advantages of precision medicine there is a change in emphasis from reactive medicine to preventive medicine, avoiding the progression and chronification of diseases, and helping to prescribe more effective medications avoiding foreseeable side effects.
With many years of clinical research experience behind us, we are pioneers in the application of genomic medicine in the field of mental health, and we are proud to be able to offer innovative solutions to patients suffering from psychiatric conditions.
It is already possible to know how our genetics will affect our health. Pharmacogenetic testing can guide healthcare professionals in choosing the most appropriate drug treatments for their patients.
