Hypertension if taken with MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) |
Tyramine |
|
|
|
Tyramine avoid and ok lists |
Mechanism 1. Eliminate dopamine and restrict tyramine (monoamines). MAO inhibitors interact releasing norephribe which elevated blood pressure. Restrict aged, fermented, dried, pickled, smoked, spoiled foods. 2. Avoid hard, aged cheese (cheddar, Swiss), sauerkraut, some sausages, luncheon meats, tofu, miso, chianti wine. Limit sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk. 3. Ok: cottage cheese, cream cheese, good advice: buy, cook, eat fresh foods. |
