How your body handles some pain medicines

How your body handles some pain medicines is a genetic trait Biome reports in its medication response panel: Your CYP2C9 result can affect how long seven pain medicines stay in your body: celecoxib, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, lornoxicam, meloxicam, piroxicam, and tenoxicam. The exact effect depends on the medicine.
