Possible relationship between the CYP3A activity, evaluated by the content of the urinary endogenous substrate of the given isoenzyme and its metabolite, the 6-beta-hydroxy cortisol (6-β-HC) / cortisol ratio, and the efficacy of diazepam was demonstrated. This possible relationship was also supported by the genotyping results. This should be taken into consideration when prescribing this drug to such patients in order to reduce the risk of pharmacoresistance.
