In Partnership with
The right medication for your body, backed by your genes.
Pillcheck is a one-time genetic test that shows how your body processes more than 350 medications, so you and your doctor can pick what is most effective.
Available across Canada. Ask your Rocket Doctor physician if Pillcheck is right for you.
What is Pillcheck?
One test. A lifetime of better prescribing.
Pillcheck combines a clinical-grade pharmacogenetic test with a medication review by an expert pharmacist. Using a simple cheek swab, it reads how your body is likely to respond to more than 350 medications across a wide range of conditions, including mental health, pain, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal care.
Your results tell your doctor which medications may need a dose adjustment, which may be less likely to work for you, and which carry a higher risk of side effects. Your report is updated every year as new medications are added, so it keeps working long after the test.
Why it matters?
Stop guessing. Start with your genetics.
Finding the right medication is often trial and error. That can mean weeks or months of adjustments, side effects, and follow-up visits before something works. This is especially true in mental health, where the wait to feel better can be the hardest part.
Pillcheck gives your physician a head start. Instead of guessing how you might respond, they can prescribe based on how your body actually processes a medication.
