Ultimo aggiornamento

Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.

Sintesi

Ephedrine releases noradrenaline indirectly, and procarbazine inhibits MAO, so the pressor response may be markedly exaggerated. This may cause a hypertensive crisis, severe headache, and arrhythmias.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Ephedrine and Procarbazine 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; Procarbazine belongs to Oncology.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

MAO inhibition increases neuronal noradrenaline stores and prolongs the effect of indirect sympathomimetics.

Cosa fare

Avoid ephedrine and other sympathomimetics during and for 14 days after procarbazine. Use non-pressor alternatives for symptom relief.

Cosa chiedere al farmacista
