Antidepressant drugs in the elderly--role of the cytochrome P450 2D6.

The world journal of biological psychiatry : the official journal of the World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry - 1 Apr 2003

Vandel Pierre

Abstract excerpt

Depression, the most common mental health problem of the elderly, is often under-diagnosed and under-treated. As patients age, antidepressant pharmacologic treatment becomes more complicated due to an increased risk of adverse drug events. These risks are associated with age-related physiological changes and individual variability in drug metabolism related to several factors, the most frequent of which is...
