How MAOIs work. Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor Antidepressants (MAOIs) work by binding with and stopping the activity of monoamine oxidase, an enzyme found throughout the body.Monoamine oxidase breaks down a number of chemicals made and used by the body and brain.AOIs also increase the amounts of other chemicals in the body and especially some chemicals which are found in food and other medications. Because they increase chemicals other than noradrenaline and serotonin MAOIs can have serious and dangerous side effects if you are not careful about certain foods and other drugs.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) are drugs used to treat depression, high blood pressure, and other medical conditions. If you are taking MAOIs, you will follow a special diet. A side effect of this type of medicine is that a normally harmless substance in food, tyramine (TY-ra-meen), is not broken down by the body. High levels of tyramine can cause blood vessels to narrow. This can lead to very high blood pressure, a severe headache, and possibly bleeding. To avoid these serious side effects, you should avoid certain foods or eat them only in small amounts. The chart on the inside pages will help guide you in your food choices.
