Pharmacogenomics
Pimozide is metabolized by CYP2D6, meaning that the function of this protein is vital to the function and clearance of Pimozide. Poor metabolizers must have a dose adjustment when administering Pimozide.

Poor metabolizers will need to be started with a lower dose of Pimozide and monitored for side effects, because of this achieving a steady state in patients with poor metabolizer status can take longer.
