Abstract excerpt
Genetic disposition can cause variation in oxycodone pharmacokinetic characteristics and decrease or increase the expected clinical response. In forensic medicine, determination of cause of death or assessing time between drug intake and death can be facilitated by knowledge of parent and metabolite concentrations. In this study, the aim was to investigate if CYP2D6 genotyping can facilitate interpretation by...
