Interaction entre Escitalopram et Sélégiline

Escitalopram Capsules are contraindicated in patients: Taking, or within 14 days of stopping, MAOIs, including linezolid or intravenous methylene blue, because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.6 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ), Drug Interactions ( 7 )] .

Concomitant use of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or within 14 days of stopping an MAOI ( 4 , 5.2 , 7)

Serotonin Syndrome: Increased risk when co-administered with other serotonergic agents but also when taken alone.

The concomitant use of Escitalopram Capsules with MAOIs is contraindicated.

If concomitant use of Escitalopram Capsules with other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, inform patients of the increased risk for serotonin syndrome and monitor for symptoms.

• May cause serotonin syndrome when used with antidepressants (5.2)

Serotonin Syndrome Serotonin syndrome and hyperpyrexia have been reported with the combined treatment of an antidepressant (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors-SSRIs, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors-SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, tetracyclic antidepressants, triazolopyridine antidepressants) and a non-selective MAOI (e.g., phenelzine,…

In the post-marketing period, fatal and non-fatal cases of serotonin syndrome have been reported in patients treated with antidepressants concomitantly with ZELAPAR [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions ( 7.1 , 7.2 , 7.3 )] .

Because the mechanisms responsible for these reactions are not fully understood, avoid the combination of ZELAPAR with any antidepressant.

…allow concomitant use of any selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (e.g., fluoxetine-Prozac, fluvoxamine-Luvox, paroxetine-Paxil, sertraline, venlafaxine-Effexor, or nefazodone-Serzone) or any non-selective serotonin reuptake inhibiting antidepressant drug (except when taken at a low dose and only at night for the purpose of effective sleep) with ZELAPAR.
