Phenotype test for TPMT If someone has little to no detectable TPMT activity, that person is at risk of developing severe side effects to thiopurine drugs. Usually the health care practitioner will find an alternative drug treatment. Sometimes the healthcare practitioner may prescribe a very small dose of the thiopurine. Low to intermediate TPMT activity also puts individuals at increased risk for toxicity. In this case, the healthcare practitioner may reduce the dose of thiopurine drug given. If someone has normal TPMT activity, the health care practitioner can treat the person with a standard dose of a thiopurine drug.
