Resumo

Methylene blue is a potent reversible MAO-A inhibitor, and with serotonergic drugs such as fluvoxamine it can cause serious serotonin syndrome. Cases have occurred with intravenous doses used for methemoglobinemia or vasoplegia.

O que esta interação significa em palavras simples

Fluvoxamine and Methylene blue 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.

Nível de evidência: High

Por que acontece

MAO-A inhibition by methylene blue combined with serotonin reuptake inhibition by fluvoxamine causes excess serotonin.

O que fazer

Avoid combined use; where methylene blue is urgently needed, stop fluvoxamine and monitor for serotonin toxicity for an extended period, noting that fluvoxamine's washout is relatively short compared with fluoxetine.
