Venlafaxine and the enzyme CYP2D6
Venlafaxine is processed within the body primarily by the enzyme CYP2D6. The activity of this enzyme can vary considerably depending on your genetic predisposition, which means the efficacy of venlafaxine can also differ from person to person.
Information about your genetic predisposition may therefore provide grounds for extra vigilance in relation to a treatment with venlafaxine.
