Q

Describe, very briefly, personalized medicine.

A

Because there are genetic differences in drug metabolic ability, the goal is to sample a patient to determine his or her genotype, and change the dose of the drug accordingly to their metabolic profile.

mono

34
Q

When the drug enters, it binds to what part of Cytp450?

A

heme portion, drug pairs with iron-coordinating with oxygen

Q

______ ________ demonstrate decreased responsiveness to typical doses of codeine;
_____-____ _______ have suffered overdoses.

A

PM

URM

A

Codeine is converted to morphine. URM can rapidly and extensively convert codeine to morphine, leading to overdoses.
