No. The Color Medication Response Genetic Test will not tell you definitively if a specific medication will not work for you or cause you to experience side effects. 

When prescribing your medications, your doctor can consider genetic information and non-genetic factors like health history, body weight, and other medications you take that also play a role in how your body processes medications.

Do not change or stop taking any medicine based on a genetic test report without consulting your healthcare provider. This test is not intended to inform you about your current state of health, including whether or not you should take a medication or how much you should take. This test does not diagnose any health conditions and is not a substitute for visiting your health care provider. Discuss the results of the genetic test with your healthcare provider, including whether the medication label includes information on how to use genetic information to determine dosage. Medicine should always be taken as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
