In reply to MAOI and epinephrine, posted by Karen44 on June 7, 2006, at 22:28:14

I found this listed in information about bee stings:

****What other drugs will affect epinephrine?

Before an emergency occurs, talk to your doctor about using epinephrine injection if you are taking any of the following medications:

digoxin (Lanoxin, Lanoxicaps, Cardoxin, others);
quinidine (Cardioquin, Quinaglute, Quinidex, others);
a tricyclic antidepressant such as amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep), nortriptyline (Pamelor), doxepin (Sinequan), imipramine (Tofranil), and others; or
a monoamine oxidase inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), tranylcypromine (Parnate), or phenelzine (Nardil).
You may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you are taking any of the medicines listed above.

Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with epinephrine injection. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products.***

I have taken albuterol before without issues and most inhalers say not to take with Parnate (my drug); however, my GP did a lot of research and prescribed it. The pharmacist also said it was ok too. The warning on the label says you may need a dosage adjustment and/or close monitoring while on it. I've been on Parnate so long, my GP trusts me to monitor myself and get to an ER if I have problems, but she is very safe and I've never had any trouble with any meds she's prescribed.
