Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The genetically polymorphic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme CYP2C9 metabolizes most sulphonylurea oral hypoglycaemic agents. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that individuals with genotypes predicting low CYP2C9 activity may be at a higher risk of severe drug-associated hypoglycaemia. METHODS: In a case-control study, 20 diabetic patients admitted to the emergency department with severe...
