Pharmacogenetics.: Pharmacogenetics is generally regarded as the study or clinical testing of genetic variation that gives rise to differing responses to drugs, If you had this done as 'swab test' is not really specific, then it refers to the ability your body has to process different drugs. It doesn't mean it will work, just that your body can handle processing it well on a metabolic level.
