MONITOR: Sympathetic ganglion-blocking or catecholamine-depleting agents such as guanethidine, reserpine, and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors may potentiate the pharmacologic effects of beta-blockers, which are thought to competitively antagonize catecholamines at cardiac and other peripheral adrenergic neurons. Combining these medications may increase the risk of hypotension, orthostasis, bradycardia, and heart failure due to excessive reduction of sympathetic activity. A case report describes two elderly patients who developed bradycardia less than 2 weeks after the initiation of phenelzine during treatment with a beta-blocker (nadolol 40 mg/day or metoprolol 150 mg/day). The pulse rates returned to normal following a 50% reduction of the nadolol dosage and discontinuation of metoprolol. In another report, a young woman developed marked orthostatic hypotension following the addition of pindolol 2.5 mg three times a day to an existing regimen of tranylcypromine. The pindolol dosage was reduced to 2.5 mg twice a day until her blood pressure stabilized, then slowly increased to 5 mg three times a day.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if beta-blockers, including ophthalmic formulations, are prescribed in combination with sympathetic ganglion-blocking or catecholamine-depleting agents. Patients should contact their doctor if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, bradycardia, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, edema, and/or chest pain.
Drug and food interactions
isocarboxazid food
Applies to: isocarboxazid
During and within two weeks after treatment with isocarboxazid, you must not consume any foods or beverages that are high in tyramine content. Doing so can raise your blood pressure to dangerous levels, a condition known as hypertensive crisis. The condition is potentially fatal and may cause symptoms such as severe headache, confusion, blurred vision, problems with speech or balance, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, convulsions, and sudden numbness or weakness (especially on one side of the body). You should seek immediate medical attention if you have any of these symptoms. Foods that are high in tyramine include, but are not limited to, air dried meats; aged or fermented meats; sausage or salami; pickled herring; anchovies; liver; red wine; beer; aged cheeses, including blue, brick, brie, cheddar, parmesan, romano, and swiss; sour cream; sauerkraut; canned figs; raisins; bananas or avocados (particularly if overripe); soy beans; soy sauce; tofu; miso soup; bean curd; fava beans; or yeast extracts (such as Marmite). You should avoid the use of alcohol while being treated with isocarboxazid, as alcohol may increase some of the nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
