Sintesi

Diphenoxylate is structurally related to meperidine, and MAO inhibitors can cause severe reactions with such opioids. Hypertensive crisis, hyperpyrexia, hypotension, somnolence or death may occur. Labeling advises against use of diphenoxylate with MAO inhibitors.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Diphenoxylate-atropine and Isocarboxazid 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.

Diphenoxylate-atropine belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract; Isocarboxazid belongs to Central Nervous System.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

MAO inhibition may potentiate diphenoxylate through a meperidine-like interaction; the exact mechanism is not fully established.
