Authors' recommendations:
No evidence was found on the clinical usefulness of Neurofarmagen® in decision making related to neuropsychiatric disorders. There is moderate quality evidence on the potential relationship between some genes and the pharmacokinetic characteristics, effectiveness and adverse effect occurrence of those psychopharmacological drugs which are substrate or act through proteins encoded by these genes. However, there is still no evidence indicating that assessment of the genes included in Neurofarmagen® or any other test, would be of clinical benefit for these patients. Health sponsors only cover certain pharmacogenetic tests under specific conditions or consider them experimental.
