Abstract excerpt
The role of the polymorphic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) in the metabolism of risperidone to its major active metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH-risperidone), has been documented after single oral doses of the drug. In this study, the influence of the CYP2D6 polymorphism on the steady-state plasma concentrations of risperidone and 9-OH-risperidone was investigated. Thirty-seven schizophrenic patients on...
