Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Escitalopram is metabolized by CYP2C19 to N-desmethyl escitalopram and escitalopram propionic acid. The primary aims of this study were to investigate the impact of the CYP2C19 phenotype on metabolic ratios of escitalopram in vivo and propose a biomarker for the CYP2C19 phenotype in patients treated with escitalopram. METHODS: Median steady-state serum metabolite/parent drug ratio of N-desmethyl...
