A. Please specify which of the mao-inhibitors picimilon, as you call it, this agent is, as I'm not familiar with it, neither by trade or generic name, so I don't even know if it binds covalently or not.

Why does using MAOI inhibitors react badly with most medications that come out?
Q. I see on commercials and medical journals that you shouldn't take medication if you use an MAOI inhibitor. What would happen if you take a medication while using one?
Asked by Khristophoros the Wise - Sun Apr 16 01:33:26 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. MAO-I can be taken safely with most medications. It is only certain classes of medication. Combined use of non-selective MAO inhibitors or MAO-A inhibitors and serotonergic drugs, such as SSRIs or MDMA and other phenylethylamines, is likely to lead to serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome can also occur, when combining MAOIs with certain opioids such as meperidine. However, other analgesics as morphine and codeine have been used safely with MAOIs. see for more information.
