Sintesi

Ephedrine with an MAOI can cause severe hypertension and hypertensive crisis. Effects can be markedly greater than expected.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Ephedrine 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.

Ephedrine belongs to Cardiovascular; Isocarboxazid belongs to Central Nervous System.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Ephedrine releases norepinephrine from nerve terminals that are loaded because of MAO inhibition, and metabolism is reduced, producing exaggerated pressor effects.

Cosa fare

Avoid ephedrine, including in cold remedies, during and for 14 days after MAOI therapy. If a vasopressor is needed perioperatively, use a direct-acting agent in carefully titrated small doses with close monitoring.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
