Case Study: Louisiana-based Psychiatric Physician Assistant improves medication management with Aegis Sciences Corporation toxicology testing

Louisiana-based Psychiatric Physician Assistant identifies 2 severe DDIs with Aegis Sciences Corporation

A Louisiana-based psychiatric physician assistant faced a challenge with a patient experiencing worsening depression and anxiety despite medication. The patient's poor response and complex history made it difficult to assess medication adherence and identify potential drug interactions. The assistant, Halie Ory, utilized high-complexity toxicology testing and the InterACT Rx drug interaction test from Aegis Sciences Corporation to gain clarity.

Aegis Sciences Corporation's testing provided objective data that revealed severe drug-drug interactions the assistant was previously unaware of. This information directly informed the decision to adjust the patient's medication regimen, tapering one drug while increasing another to help stabilize the patient as the interactions were resolved.
