MapMyGenome launches Pharmacogenomics solution MedicaMap covering more than 165 drugs

MedicaMap covers common medicines like metformin, clopidogrel, warfarin, codeine, and many other medicines commonly used by Indians

MapMyGenome has launched its pharmacogenomics solution MedicaMap. Dr Annie Q Hasan, Founder & President of the Board of Genetic Counseling India, gave the keynote speech. 

She said, “Medicines are usually prescribed using a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. But variations in individuals’ DNA lead to variations in their response to medication.”

 Anu Acharya, CEO, MapMyGenome said, “MedicaMap is a one-of-a-kind pharmacogenomic product which provides you a detailed analysis of your body’s response to medicine based on your genetic makeup. It is affordable, non-invasive, and once-in-a-lifetime. You can do it from your own home. We have introduced it at Rs 6499 for over 165 drugs, which is probably the lowest price.”

MedicaMap is MapMyGenome’s cutting-edge pharmacogenomic solution that analyses an individual’s response to medicines, based on genetic makeup. This pharmacogenomic solution analyses 165+ US-FDA-approved drugs across 12 different specialities such as psychiatry, oncology, cardiology, diabetology, and many more.

According to a study published in The Pharmacogenomics Journal, Indians have a higher risk for medicine-induced heart-related cases compared with the West. The study also shows Indians’ varied responses to widely used medicines like warfarin (anti-coagulant drugs), metformin (diabetes drug), and clopidogrel (antiplatelet drug). The varied response to medicines among Indians highlights the significance of creating India-specific comprehensive pharmacogenomic data.

MedicaMap covers common medicines like metformin, clopidogrel, warfarin, codeine, and many other medicines commonly used by Indians.

MedicaMap gives an easy-to-read comprehensive report on medicines’ toxicity and efficacy for a person. It helps clinicians to identify alternate medicine or adjust the dosage according to an individual’s genetic profile for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of any health condition.
