Are genetic tests for adhd medication effective? are they fda approved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: As of their notes 2 Nov 2018 the FDA has noted that genetic testing has not evolved to the point it is a reliable of which meds or which dosing is effective in a given patient. A few of the available tests can suggest increased/decreased sensitivity to drugs based on the patients genetic makeup.The FDA has cleared some tests,but that does not mean they recommend their purchase or use for anything
