چکیده
MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS Phenelzine (Nardil) and tranylcypromine (Parnate) are the two most commonly prescribed MAOIs in the United States, and they account for the majority of toxicity seen with this class of agents. The pharmacologic effects of MAOIs are listed in Box 147.1. These effects in overdose may result in a sympathomimetic toxidrome followed by profound hypotension. A therapeutic dose of an MAOI can interact with certain foods, drinks, and other pharmacologic agents and cause serious toxicity.
