CYP2D6 & tramadol is not overrated at all.

We can agree that M1 is the metabolite which provides opioid analgesic effects. (PMID 10961373) (2/7)
M1 is metabolized by CYP3A4 & CYP2B6 (not CYP2D6 as you suggested) to M5. (PMID 24849324) (3/7)
“#Tramadont”, a #tweetorial
In response to the last #pharmacyeducationboard about tramadol- some are still doubting whether it has earned the moniker “Tramadont”. Points have been made that as tramadol is metabolized by CYP2D6 in the liver, so are other drugs. Should we (1/11)

just not prescribe anyone anything metabolized in the liver? Touché. The problem with CYP2D6 specifically is that it happens to have the most polymorphisms of all the CYPs enzymes. What does this mean? It means it has the greatest potential variability in activity (2/11)
from one person to another. Not only this, but unlike the other CYPs, it’s expression can vary from being absolutely nonfunctional to being an ultrarapid metabolizer because of the very unique ability of it to be duplicated! No other CYP enzyme does this!! (3/11)
#Tramadol, a game of analgesic roulette, will it work or won’t it? Will your patient obtain analgesic effects or will they have a seizure, respiratory depression, or various other side effects...🤷🏼♀️that’s why it’s been nicknamed #Tramadont! Its variable effects are (1/3)
attributable to hepatic enzyme CYP2D6;unless you know your pt’s CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism (which I haven’t come across anyone who does)AND a comprehensive list of all of their home meds, don’t prescribe it!🙅🏼♀️
