A journey which started in 2016 has led to the publication of the #PREPARE study in @TheLancet today. In this #randomised study, we show that a 12-gene panel can reduce #adverse_effects by 30%. authors.elsevier.com/c/1gX95V-4XHGbk @CDSS_Liverpool @pandtuol
A 30% reduction in adverse reactions from a single #intervention is remarkable. news.liverpool.ac.uk/2023/02/03/mat… #pharmacogenetics #personalisedmedicine #adverse_effects. The study was funded by the Horizon 2020 program by the @eu_comission
Led by @HenkJGuchelaar and @JesseSwen as part of the #UPGx consortium: upgx.eu. All #ADRs were assessed for #causality by the Liverpool Causality Assessment Tool (LCAT): journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Part 5 #Tramadont #tweetorial
(in which #Tramadont remains a hilariously accurate descriptor of tramadol!)
@NarouzeMD @EMARIANOMD @toby_ashken @DavidJuurlink

CYP2D6 & tramadol is not overrated at all.
Here is a picture of the tramadol metabolism pathway (PMID 11454734) (1/7)
We can agree that M1 is the metabolite which provides opioid analgesic effects. (PMID 10961373) (2/7)
M1 is metabolized by CYP3A4 & CYP2B6 (not CYP2D6 as you suggested) to M5. (PMID 24849324) (3/7)

#Tramadol, a game of analgesic roulette, will it work or won’t it? Will your patient obtain analgesic effects or will they have a seizure, respiratory depression, or various other side effects...🤷🏼‍♀️that’s why it’s been nicknamed #Tramadont! Its variable effects are (1/3)
attributable to hepatic enzyme CYP2D6;unless you know your pt’s CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism (which I haven’t come across anyone who does)AND a comprehensive list of all of their home meds, don’t prescribe it!🙅🏼‍♀️

I was born & raised in #Medellin Colombia, an amazing & vibrant city in the middle of the mountains.

Please do not mention #Narcos or #Escobar when you hear Medellin!

Medellin is much more than that #eternalspring #innovation #Entrepreneurship #mountains #coffee #greatpeople

Went to a great school in #medellin & at 17 started #medicine not because I wanted to be a clinician but because I liked the #science & my family and #mentors told me #medicine was broader and could open more doors for me #VoicesIWS #Thread☝️@IWS_Network
