– QUESTIONS IN THE MEDICINE CABINET from; Dr. Lindsey, Dr. Brian, news, Internet and Joey Pals in the “Medicine Cabinet”.
1. What is the CYP2D6 gene? (Makes an enzyme in your liver to “break down” certain drugs in your liver. Everyone has this gene. Then the drug goes into your body and is effective. There are multiple enzymes in your liver that help. If the gene is not working as well as it should can affect the ability of the drug to work properly. Pharmacogenomics is this new area of study. Tested w/ a blood test.)
2. What about listeria in the recalled Boar’s Head Meats? (Bacteria that is in deli meat and usually comes from processing plants. Symptoms are flu-like. There are over-the-counter meds to treat this. Can be life-threatening in certain situations.)
