MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS: AUGMENTATION OF PRESSOR EFFECTS OF PERORAL TYRAMINE.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors markedly enhance the oral pressor potency of tyramine by preventing it from being destroyed by the monoamine oxidase normally present in liver and intestine. Since certain types of cheese contain high concentrations of tyramine, they should not be eaten by patients during treatment with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
