Abstract
A short review of the metabolism of psychoactive drugs and the pharmacogenetic factors regulating the enzymes involved is presented here. The potential clinical usefulness of phenotyping and genotyping individuals, with regard to their drug metabolic capacity, is discussed. Indications for genotyping CYP2D6 and a flow scheme for the combined use of conventional therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and pharmacogenetic methods for optimizing dosage-schedules of psychoactive drugs are suggested.Entities:
