ABSTRACT: Background
Genetic factors as predictor of the individual outcome of drug therapy is one aim of personalized medicine approaches.Case presentation
We report a drug metabolism based analysis of genetic polymorphisms in a Caucasian patient receiving fluvastatin and telmisartan experiencing myotoxicity (myalgia and moderate creatine kinase elevation).Conclusions
The obtained findings suggest that heterocygocity of cytochrome P450 CYP2C9*3 variant in combination with multidrug resistance-associated protein MRP2-24C > T functions as risk factor predisposing to experience drug-drug interaction combing those drugs.
