Sintesi

Buspirone with a nonselective MAOI such as phenelzine has been associated with hypertensive reactions and risk of serotonin syndrome. Buspirone labeling contraindicates its use with MAOIs. The reaction can be severe and may need hospital care.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Buspirone 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.

Buspirone belongs to Central Nervous System; Phenelzine belongs to Central Nervous System.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Phenelzine inhibits MAO, raising monoamine levels, while buspirone is a serotonergic 5-HT1A partial agonist, so serotonergic toxicity may result; the hypertensive mechanism is not fully established.

Cosa fare

Do not use together. Allow at least 14 days after stopping phenelzine before starting buspirone, and about a week after stopping buspirone before starting an MAOI.
