      Drug Name Phenelzine Dobutamine
      Mechanism Hypertensive effects Hypertensive effects
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Hypertensive effects
Factor Description Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure reading above a prescribed limit (130/90 mmHg). Most people with hypertension have no signs or symptoms; others may experience: severe headache, shortness of breath, nosebleeds, severe anxiety, and feeling a tingling sensation in the neck or head.
      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypertensive effects by the combination of Phenelzine and Dobutamine 

Recommended Action
      Management Blood pressure and heart rate should be monitored during coadministration of direct-acting sympathomimetic agents with MAOIs or other agents that possess MAOI activity (e.g., furazolidone, methylene blue, procarbazine).
