A medical quiz! Over-the-Counter?
Can someone help me answer this question please!
A client is being treated for depression near phenelzin (Nardil). The indicator that would be useful to monitor the outcome "client will understand the potential side effects of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants" is that the client
a) wears supportive shoes?
b) elevate legs when sitting
c) eats at Chinese restaurants
d) avoids over-the counter medications.
I think its D but i'm not sure, can someone please oblige me out! and if its D can you explain to me why it is D...thanks!
Answers:
agreed, other otc drugs that interact (but not excluding others) include saint johns wort, kava kava, 5-HTP, ma huang, pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine, dextromethorphan, SAMe, epinephrine, and yohimbe
C - Chinese food can be high in tyramine. This can enjoy a food-drug interaction with MAOi's, causing hypertensive crisis (very life-threatening).
Patients should avoid processed meats, cheeses, or other foods elevated in tyramine while on these meds because of this possibility.
Edit: While it would be good to know if the patient take OTC meds like cough/cold/decongestants, hypertensive crisis is still probably the most worrisome side effect of MAOi's. Source(s): Pharmacy student
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI) drugs are coutraindicated with Tyramine. Tyramine is concenrated in Soy Sauce. Chinese foods tend to be big in Soy Source(s): Pharmacist: in 34 years of practice, I've not seen a single MAOI prescribed, but teacher love to put this obsolete drug class on exams.
D is correct many OTC meds interact with MAOIs and can create seizures and stuff
