When it comes to drug metabolism and personalized medication management, understanding the role of CYP2C19 is essential. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down a wide range of medications in the body, affecting their efficacy and elimination.
Becoming a CYP2C19 rapid metabolizer means that the enzyme functions at a higher-than-normal rate, impacting the way drugs are processed in the body. This can have significant implications for drug response and treatment outcomes.
