Résumé

Benzphetamine is a sympathomimetic anorectic, and with MAO inhibitors it can trigger hypertensive crisis. Headache, severe hypertension, and intracranial hemorrhage are possible.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Benzphetamine and Phenelzine are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Niveau de preuve: High

Pourquoi elle survient

MAO inhibition allows accumulation of norepinephrine, which is released by benzphetamine, producing excessive pressor response.

Conduite à tenir

Do not use together or within 14 days of stopping phenelzine. Use a non-sympathomimetic weight management approach.
