Honore The following does imply they "interact" but uses only the word "react". "Interact" would imply a nonlinear relationship that destroys B6 and phenelzine. On the other hand "react" could mean they destroy each other too eg
Pb+O=PbO
"PDRHealth says of B6 that "Phenelzine may react with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate to yield a metabolically inactive hydrazone compound"."
Sorry to labour the point, but I think we need to get this right. We not talking about blocking an enzyme. The other question is does phenelzine do its MAOI work before it hits B6 or afterwards?
