Surgery Center Guidance: Understanding Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors

 

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO inhibitors or MAOIs) are drugs which, by virtue of their pharmacological mechanisms of action, may lead to an exaggerated level of monoamines which can cascade into a hypertensive crisis.

 

It is a classic drug-drug and drug-food interaction that we must all be focused on as the consequences of co-administration with certain drugs can be catastrophic.

 

While the use of newer classes of antidepressants such as Prozac and Lexapro have curtailed the common use of MAOIs, they remain with us and may well be presented on a patient's reconciliation drug list as a last line of treatment options. Further, some of the MAOIs fall into other drug categories.

List of Herbal MAOI-A's - LONGECITY

I'm more interested in well tolerated selective MAO-B inhibitors as they have the potential to make PEA a poor man's amphetamine while addressing some of amphetamine's inherent toxicity. Without digging out my research laptop it appears that most well known herbal MAOI's are either MAO-A selective or non-selective (such as curcumin). Also, please for the love of whatever you hold holy don't go for something that's known or likely to be a irreversible inhibitor of MAO-A. The last thing anyone wants is to sink their teeth into a block of cheese and have their heart explode.
