NRNP 6566 week 1 to 5 Week 1 1. Describe the cytochrome P450 system. Describe how inducers and inhibitors affect the cytochrome system and how that affects the half-life of medications. a. Cyt ochrome p450 system is a series of enzymes used to metabolize medications. b. Drugs that cause CYP450 metabolic drug interactions are referred to as either inhibitors or inducers. Inducers increase CYP450 enzyme activity by increasing enzyme synthesis c. Inhibitors block the metabolic activity of one or mo...
