Login to YouScript to identify possible interaction risks when making medication changes. Advisory Note to Treating Practitioner:
The prescribing suggestions below are based on standard doses of the medications listed on the patient test requisiton we received from you, do not take into account the full clinical picture and do not supersede your clinical judgment. Please review the medication list for accuracy before proceeding. If you would like to share more information about the patient's history, I may be able to provide more specific guidance regarding potential interactions of prescribed medications with your patient's genotype. If you would like to discuss this case, I can be reached Monday - Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PST.

MEDICATIONS: PRESCRIBING SUGGESTIONS: Clinical Drug Impacted clopidogrel Drug / Gene Effect: Clopidogrel's (Plavix) risk for cardiovascular events may increase in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers. Management: For acute coronary syndrome: Consider prescribing prasugrel (Effient) or ticagrelor (Brilinta) [per CPIC]. For secondary stroke prevention or peripheral artery disease: Consider aspirin/dipyridamole (Aggrenox) or aspirin. Clinical Drug Impacted citalopram Drug / Gene Effect: Citalopram (Celexa) exposure and QTc prolongation risk increases in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers. Management: Monitor EKG and anticholinergic effects. Use a maximum of 20 mg daily. When necessary, prescribe sertraline (Zoloft), mirtazapine (Remeron) or vilazodone (Viibryd). Genelex Corporation 2013 Clinical Drug Impacted hydroxyzine Drug / Gene Effect: Hydroxyzine (Vistaril) exposure may increase in CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizers. Management: Monitor for anticholinergic effects, sedation and dizziness. When necessary, decrease dose or prescribe doxylamine (Unisom), cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra) or fluticasone nasal spray (Flonase). LABORATORY RESULTS INTERPRETATION:
Laboratory Director: Teresa H. Aulinskas, Ph.D. CYP2D6 Intermediate Metabolizers exhibit approximately half-normal enzyme activity and consist of one active and one inactive, one inactive and one partially active, or two partially active CYP2D6 alleles. They may require
less than standard dosage to prevent overdose toxicity, drug interactions and for optimal therapeutic response to CYP2D6 inactivated drugs. For prodrugs, such as opioid analgesics or tamoxifen, requiring activation by CYP2D6, consider increased dosage or alternative treatment. CYP2C19 Poor Metabolizers have greatly decreased enzyme activity and consist of two inactive CYP2C19
alleles. They may require alternative treatments or less than standard dosage to prevent overdose toxicity, drug interactions and for optimal therapeutic response to CYP2C19 inactivated drugs. For prodrugs, such as clopidogrel requiring activation by CYP2C19, consider alternative treatment. CYP2C9 Normal Metabolizers are the common phenotype for CYP2C9 enzyme activity and consist of two active CYP2C9 alleles. In general they can be administered CYP2C9 metabolized drugs following standard dosing practices. Warfarin (Coumadin): Consult label or www.warfarindosing.org for dosing advice. VKORC1 (-1639 GA) intermediate sensitivity to warfarin. The VKORC1 enzyme is the site of action of warfarin. Consult label or www.warfarindosing.org for dosing advice. Clinical Indication for Testing: Patient taking medicines metabolized by the cytochrome P450s or other enzymes, has a personal or family history of adverse reactions including treatment failure, or to confirm the presence or absence of relevant genotypes and as an aid to dosing and co-medication administration. DNA testing does not replace the need for clinical and therapeutic drug monitoring. Methodologies: PCR based assays detect listed alleles, including all common and most rare variants with known clinical significance at analytical sensitivity and specificity >99%. Variants tested may include: CYP2C19: active *1; inactive *2, *3, *4, *5, *6, *7, *8; rapid *17. CYP2D6: active *1, *2; inactive *3, *4, *5, *6, *7, *8, *11, *12, *14, *15; partially active *9, *10, *17, *41; gene duplications *1, *2, *4, *10, *41. CYP2C9: active *1; inactive *2, *3, *4, *5, *6, *8, *11, *13. VKORC1: high sensitivity 1639G>A. Rare variants may not have been observed at Genelex. Other known variants not listed are not detected. Assays developed and performance characteristics determined by Genelex. Rare false negative or false positive results may occur.
