Il contenuto clinico di questa pagina è disponibile solo in inglese.
Sintesi
Phenelzine irreversibly inhibits monoamine oxidase, so serotonin is not broken down, and imipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant that blocks serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake. Together they can precipitate serotonin syndrome with hyperthermia, agitation, clonus and autonomic instability, which can be fatal.
Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici
Imipramine 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.
Imipramine belongs to Central Nervous System; Phenelzine belongs to Central Nervous System.
Perché avviene
Excess serotonergic activity (MAO inhibition plus serotonin reuptake or receptor effects)
Cosa fare
Do not co-administer. Leave at least 14 days after stopping phenelzine before starting imipramine, and at least 14 days after stopping imipramine before starting phenelzine.
