Abstract excerpt
Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agent, is metabolized by cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) which is known to have genetic polymorphisms. To examine the effects of CYP2C9 genetic polymorphisms on the safety and efficacy of glimepiride in patients with type 2 diabetes, the responses to the glimepiride were measured in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with the different CYP2C9 genotype. The reduction in the...
