Clinical Importance of Potential Genetic Determinants Affecting Propofol Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics

Abstract excerpt

Interindividual variability in response to drugs used in anesthesia has long been considered the rule, not the exception. It is important to mention that in anesthesiology, the variability in response to drugs is multifactorial, i.e., genetic and environmental factors interact with each other and thus affect the metabolism, efficacy, and side effects of drugs. Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) is the most common...
