Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Venlafaxine (VEN), a well accepted anti-depressant, is metabolized through the cytochrome P 450 (CYP) 2D6 isozyme to form O-desmethyvenlafaxine (ODV). Due to the involvement of CYP2D6, the formation of ODV is influenced by genetic polymorphism. We used standard tools of assessment to explore the phenotypic distribution in a retrospective manner using the pharmacokinetic (PK) data of VEN and ODV...
