ABSTRACT
Introduction: the existence of variations in the drug response among individuals is multifactoral and includes genetics and environment; so it is important for clinical practice to consider the effects of drugs that are biologically transformed by polymorphic enzymes such as cytochrome P4502C9 (CYP2C9), which roughly metabolizes 16% of regularly used drugs so that the association of pharmacovigilance and pharmacogenetic studies would allow relating some drugs with possibilities of adverse reactions, and therefore, being more rational in drug therapy.Objective: to describe the occurrence of adverse reactions to drugs metabolized by CYP2C9 in patients from a physician's office.
Methods: observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted in 143 patients from a physician's office of "Joaquin Albarran" polyclinics, who took CYP2C9-metabolized drugs in the study period.
Results: there were detected 43 adverse reactions, being 88.4% of them linked to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; Ibuprofen accounted for 65.1% of them. Age and sex did not influence the occurrence of reactions. In the group;, 55.8% of reactions were rated as mild.
Conclusions: the fifth part of patients who showed adverse reactions had taken cytochrome CYP2C9-metabolized drugs, they were not sufficient to predict response to traditionally accepted variable drugs as well as age and sex. The factors having an impact on the capacity of biotransformation of drug-metabolizing enzymes should be taken into consideration at the time of prescription of a drug.
