Sintesi
Citalopram raises synaptic serotonin by blocking reuptake, and phenelzine (an irreversible non-selective MAO inhibitor) prevents its breakdown. Serotonin syndrome with agitation, hyperthermia, clonus and autonomic instability can develop, sometimes fatally.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Citalopram 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.
Citalopram belongs to Central Nervous System; Phenelzine belongs to Central Nervous System.
Perché avviene
Serotonin reuptake inhibition combined with MAO inhibition causes excess serotonergic activity
Cosa fare
Contraindicated. Wait at least 14 days after stopping phenelzine before starting the other drug; allow at least 2 weeks between stopping an irreversible MAOI and starting citalopram, and about a week the other way round.
