Disease interactions

41 potential interactions Applies to: 26 conditions, including High Blood Pressure, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Heart Failure, and Headache.

Alcoholism

Major:

IDA

The acetaminophen in IDA has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.

Chronic alcohol abusers may be at increased risk of hepatotoxicity during treatment with acetaminophen (APAP). Severe liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure resulting in liver transplant and death, has been reported in patients using acetaminophen. Therapy with acetaminophen should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients who consume three or more alcoholic drinks a day. In general, patients should avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen-containing medications. Patients should be warned not to exceed the maximum recommended total daily dosage of acetaminophen (4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older), and to read all prescription and over-the-counter medication labels to ensure they are not taking multiple acetaminophen-containing products, or check with a healthcare professional if they are unsure. They should also be advised to seek medical attention if they experience signs and symptoms of liver injury such as fever, rash, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, and jaundice.

Major:

tranylcypromine

Tranylcypromine has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.

The use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors with alcohol or any other CNS depressants is contraindicated.

Angina

Moderate:

tranylcypromine

Tranylcypromine has a moderate potential interaction with Angina.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors may have the capacity to suppress anginal pain that would otherwise serve as a warning of myocardial ischemia. Caution is advised in patients with a history of angina or risk of myocardial infarction.

Bipolar Disorder

Moderate:

tranylcypromine

Tranylcypromine has a moderate potential interaction with Bipolar Disorder.

A major depressive episode can be the initial presentation of bipolar disorder. Patients with depressive symptoms should be adequately screened to determine if they are at risk for bipolar disorder prior to initiating treatment with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). This screening should include a detailed psychiatric history, including a family history of suicide, bipolar disorder, and depression. It should be noted that MAOIs antidepressants are not approved for use in treating bipolar depression.

Moderate:

tranylcypromine

Tranylcypromine has a moderate potential interaction with Bipolar Disorder.

Monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants may cause excessive stimulation in hyperactive or schizophrenic patients. Symptoms of psychosis may be aggravated in schizophrenia, particularly that with paranoid symptomatology. Depressed patients, usually those with bipolar disorder, may experience a switch from depression to mania or hypomania. Therapy with MAOI antidepressants should be administered cautiously in patients with hyperactive or hyperexcitable personalities, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Carcinoid Syndrome

Major:

tranylcypromine

Tranylcypromine has a major potential interaction with Carcinoid Syndrome.

The use of nonspecific monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) is contraindicated in patients with carcinoid syndrome. Nonspecific MAOIs inhibit the breakdown of pressor amines, including serotonin, and may exacerbate symptoms of the syndrome.

Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders

Major:

tranylcypromine

Tranylcypromine has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

These drugs can cause hypertensive crises, which sometimes can be fatal, and are characterized by occipital headache, palpitations, neck stiffness or soreness, nausea, sweating, dilated pupils and photophobia. Intracranial bleeding has been reported in some cases in association with the increase in blood pressure.

Normotensive patients receiving therapy with MAOIs need to have monitored their blood pressure frequently to detect any evidence of pressor response and treatment should be discontinued immediately if blood pressure increases or the patient reports symptoms such a headaches or palpitations. Additionally, patients should be advised to avoid foods and drinks with high tyramine content such as cheese, sour cream, beer, liver, bananas and others, as these might trigger an hypertensive crisis.

Major:

tranylcypromine

Tranylcypromine has a major potential interaction with Cardiovascular Conditions and Disorders.

The use of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants is contraindicated in patients with cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease, including hypertension and congestive heart failure. Nonspecific MAOIs inhibit the breakdown of pressor amines, the accumulation of which can precipitate hypertensive crises. Intracranial hemorrhage and death have resulted in some cases. MAOI antidepressants are also commonly associated with dose-related orthostatic hypotension, which occurs most frequently in patients with preexisting hypertension but may be minimized with slow, gradual titration. Blood pressure should be monitored closely in all patients who receive MAOI therapy, and patients should be advised to stop taking the medication and seek medical attention immediately if signs and symptoms of a hypertensive reaction occur (e.g., occipital headache which may radiate frontally; palpitation; neck stiffness or soreness; nausea or vomiting; perspiration associated with fever or cold, clammy skin; mydriasis; photophobia; constricting chest pain).
