Did you know that native american and asian ppl have a hard time with atypical antipsychotics? how is this? dna maybe? fnp told me this

Genetic testing: Now days there is genetic testing from swabs from inside your cheeks which should you how you metabolize medications. It is important to have done in order to obtain the correct medications and avoid adverse effects or medications which do not work. Anti psychotics are on the list and certain ethnic groups probably cannot metabolize them well

Interesting: Wonder what kinds of problems these medicines cause them, or what you FNP has seen. Sometimes some groups of people may not do well with certain things. People of mediteranean descent sometimes become ill after eating fava beans for example.
