Sulfonylureas are mainly metabolized by the enzyme CYP2C9. Two allelic variants, CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3, result in decreased metabolic capacity and have been associated with elevated sulfonylurea serum levels. However, most of the available data originates from pharmacokinetic analyses performed in healthy individuals. In this study, the effect of CYP2C9*2 and CYP2C9*3 alleles on prescribed dose and time-to-stable dose of sulfonylureas was investigated.
