Why MedicaMap – Your Guide to Personalized Medicine - Mapmygenome

Have you ever taken a medication that didn't work as expected — or caused unexpected side effects? You're not alone. The reason is often genetic: your DNA determines how your body metabolizes drugs, which medications are effective for you, and which carry a higher risk of adverse reactions.

MedicaMap by MapmyGenome is India's at-home pharmacogenomics test — designed to take the guesswork out of medication decisions.

What Is Pharmacogenomics?

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how your genes affect your response to medications. Key genes like CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and TPMT determine whether you're a poor, normal, intermediate, or rapid metabolizer of specific drugs. This directly affects whether a medication works, how long it stays in your system, and whether you're at risk for side effects.

What Does MedicaMap Cover?

  • 165+ FDA-approved medications across 12 medical specialties
  • Cardiology — blood thinners, statins, antihypertensives
  • Psychiatry — antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics
  • Oncology — chemotherapy agents and targeted therapies
  • Pain management — opioids, NSAIDs, and analgesics
