Sintesi

Phenelzine inhibits monoamine oxidase and so reduces serotonin breakdown, while desvenlafaxine blocks serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake. Together this can precipitate serotonin syndrome, with agitation, hyperthermia, clonus and autonomic instability that may be fatal.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Desvenlafaxine 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.

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

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Additive serotonergic activity: irreversible non-selective MAO inhibition plus monoamine reuptake inhibition

Cosa fare

Do not combine; allow at least 14 days after stopping the phenelzine before starting desvenlafaxine, and at least 14 days after stopping desvenlafaxine before starting the phenelzine.
