CYP2C19 Genotype is Associated with Citalopram Treatment Outcomes in a Real‐World Setting

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
CYP2C19 metabolizes various selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and genetic CYP2C19 variants are associated with SSRI tolerability and response. Yet, whether CYP2C19 variability also impacts citalopram response remained unclear. We here evaluated associations between CYP2C19 genotypes and citalopram prescription data of 11,079 patients from
