Up to 21% of Asians are ultra-rapid 2D6 metabolizers, leading to:
1. A need to monitor drugs metabolized by 2D6 for toxicity
2. Increased dosages needed of drugs metabolized by 2D6, such as the selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors
3. Decreased conversion of codeine to morphine by CYP 2D6
,4. The need for lowered dosages of drugs, such as beta blockers

Patients who have a poor metabolism phenotype will have:
1. Slowed metabolism of a prodrug into an active drug, leading to accumulation of
prodrug
2. Accumulation of inactive metabolites of drugs
3. A need for increased dosages of medications
4. Increased elimination of an active drug

1. Have a short half-life
2. Be the best tasting of the effective drugs
3. Be the least concentrated form of the medication
