The CYP2D6 gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily. It metabolizes many pharmaceuticals, including codeine and debrisoquine.
Metabolized by CYP2D6 are among others the following substances:
Antiarrhythmics Flecainid, Lidocain, Propafenon
Antidepressants Amitriptylin, Citalopram, Clomipramin, DesipraminEscitalopram, Fluoxetil, Imipramin, Nortriptylin, Paroxetin, Venlafaxin, Vortioxetin
Antihistamines Pitolisant
Antiestrogens Tamoxifen
Antipsychotics Brexppiprazol, Iloperidon, Pimozid, Risperidon, Thioridazin
Cold medicine Dextromethorphan
Beta-blocker Carvedilol, Metoprolol, Propanolol
Opiates Codein, Oxycodon, Tramadol
Other Valbenazin, Eliglustat, Deutetrabenazin, Trabenazin, Atomoxetin
