About CYP2C19

Variants of CYP2C19 gene can lead to altered drug metabolism. Impacting the effectiveness and safety of various medications. CYP2C19 polymorphisms influence the enzymes ability to process certain drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors, antiplatelet agents and antidepressants. These genetics differences may result in reduced or increased drug activity, potentially affecting treatment. Testing for these genetic differences allows the healthcare practitioner to determine treatment and monitoring strategies based on CYP2C19 status.
