Pharmacogenomic guideline recommendationsCPIC and Dutch Pharmacogenetics Working Group clinical guidelines
Phenotype:CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizer avoid CPIC A 85 / 100
CPIC rec 8094592 [Strong]: Avoid tricyclic use due to potential lack of efficacy. Consider alternative drug not metabolized by CYP2D6. If a tricyclic antidepressant is warranted, consider titrating to a higher target dose (compared to normal metabolizers). Titrate dose to observed clinical response with symptom improvement and minimal (if any) side effects. Utilize therapeutic drug monitoring to guide dose adjustments. CPIC pair-level A (CYP2D6, CYP2C19 and Tricyclic Antidepressants) [PMID 23486447, 27997040] FDA labeling (Precautions)
Phenotype:CYP2D6 poor metabolizer avoid CPIC A 85 / 100
CPIC rec 8094612 [Strong]: Avoid tricyclic use due to potential for side effects. Consider alternative drug not metabolized by CYP2D6. If a tricyclic antidepressant is warranted, consider a 50% reduction of recommended starting dose. Titrate dose to observed clinical response with symptom improvement and minimal (if any) side effects. Utilize therapeutic drug monitoring to guide dose adjustments. CPIC pair-level A (CYP2D6, CYP2C19 and Tricyclic Antidepressants) [PMID 23486447, 27997040] FDA labeling (Precautions)
Phenotype:CYP2D6 normal metabolizer monitor CPIC A 70 / 100
CPIC rec 8094603 [Strong]: Initiate therapy with recommended starting dose CPIC pair-level A (CYP2D6, CYP2C19 and Tricyclic Antidepressants) [PMID 23486447, 27997040]
Phenotype:CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizer monitor CPIC A 45 / 100
CPIC rec 8094610 [Moderate]: Consider a 25% reduction of recommended starting dose. Titrate dose to observed clinical response with symptom improvement and minimal (if any) side effects. Utilize therapeutic drug monitoring to guide dose adjustments. CPIC pair-level A (CYP2D6, CYP2C19 and Tricyclic Antidepressants) [PMID 23486447, 27997040]
