Which foods must be restrictedin the diet of a person takingmonoamine oxidase inhibitordrug?
This question is confusing the heck out of me. I have searched and searched but I cannot find it. Which foods must be restricted in the diet of a person taking monoamine oxidase inhibitor drug? A. Soybeans B. Aged Cheeses C. Acid Forming Foods D. Cruciferous Vegetables I am thinking C, but not sure. I know it is not D. Please Help! Thank You!!!
Aged cheese (anything that is high in tyramine: also beer, wine, broad beans, beef or chicken liver, smoked meat/fish). This is because the enzyme being blocked, MAO, metabolizes tyramine, so you get a build up of it.
Is Buproprion a MonoamineOxidase Inhibitor (MAOI)?
If not, does that mean I can take over-the-counter cold medications? The pharmacist did not explain things properly and my doctor is on vacation, so no snide remarks regarding the question, please.
Yes, you can take cold medication. Just stay away from anything that contains pseudoephedrine. Wellbutrin and stimulants like that do not mix. Call another pharmacist. Just say, "I'm on Wellbutrin and I need to know what cold medication I can take with that." If you are on any other medications, tell them that, too. Don't stress about this. Here is more info on the medication. http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_ info/rxdrugprofiles/drugs/wel1 488
Is there any doctor here?Could you please explain to mewhat a "monoamine oxidaseinhibitor" (MAOI) is?
Laymen terms of course :) Thank you very much
They are used for depression and mood disorders. They are used once nothing else has worked because of the possible lethal and dietary side effects.
