'Consider Alternatives' (red) medications reflect strong genetic interactions that suggest that the medication may not be suitable or safe for you. The red color is associated with a recommendation to avoid that medication. If no medications are listed as ‘Consider Alternatives’ (red) on your Inagene report, it is because no genetic variants have been identified in your cheek swab sample that suggest that you should avoid any of the medications that we report on. However, you may still have variations that could impact your individual responses to these medications, and these would be listed as 'Consider Modified Approach' (yellow).
(Note: Research in pharmacogenetics is ongoing, and Inagene's reports are updated every 6 months to reflect important new gene-drug discoveries/information. As a result, new medications are typically added to our report each year and the strength (or colour) of these recommendations is also subject to change based on accumulated data. Subscribing to our Advantage Membership will update your report to include this updated information.)
