Sintesi

Linezolid is a reversible nonselective MAO inhibitor and amoxapine inhibits serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake. Together they can precipitate serotonin syndrome with agitation, hyperthermia, clonus and autonomic instability.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Amoxapine and Linezolid 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.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Additive serotonergic and noradrenergic effects from MAO inhibition plus reuptake inhibition.

Cosa fare

Avoid the combination and choose another antibiotic. If linezolid is essential, stop amoxapine and monitor closely for serotonin toxicity.
