title: Metabolism, pharmacogenetics, and metabolic drug-drug interactions of antipsychotic drugs.
abstract: 1. Antipsychotic drugs are extensively metabolised by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. 2. Dispositions of a number of antipsychotic drugs have been shown to cosegregate with polymorphism of CYP2D6. 3. Metabolic drug-drug interactions have frequently been observed when antipsychotics are coadministered with other drugs. 4. Many antipsychotic drugs are converted to active metabolites which can contribute to the therapeutic or side effects of the parent drug. 5. Information concerning the individual CYP isoenzymes involved in the metabolism of antipsychotic drugs is important for the safe clinical use of this group of drugs.
