Tranylcypromine (Parnate) is an antidepressant in the class of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
(MAOIs). Other MAOIs include phenelzine (Nardil) and isocarboxazid (Marplan). Tyramine, vasoactive peptides found in wine, may interact with MAOIs. Foods that contain tyramine can be very dangerous when used in combination with MAOIs and in certain cases the combination even is potentially lethal. Both tyramine and MAOIs produce a raised level of noradrenaline. Examples of foods and drinks containing tryramine are: alcoholic beverages and particularly wine, aged cheeses, chocolate (cocoa), beef and chicken livers.
