Resumo

Ephedrine releases norepinephrine, and MAO inhibitors greatly enhance this effect. Hypertensive crisis with severe headache and possible stroke can occur.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Ephedrine 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.

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

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece

MAO inhibition prevents norepinephrine breakdown, amplifying the indirect sympathomimetic action of ephedrine.
