FOODS TO USE WITH CAUTION Caffiene - contains a weak pressor agent, large amounts may cause a reaction Chocolate - is safe to ingest for most patients, unless consumed in large amounts (Anon, 1989; McCabe, 1986). Raspberries & Red Plums - contain tyramine and small amounts are expected to be safe (McCabe, 1986). Spinach, New Zealand Prickly or Hot Weather - large amounts have resulted in a reaction (Anon, 1989; McCabe, 1986). Wild Game generally contains high amine levels due to frequent mishandling. Game is often allowed to partially decompose as part of its preparation. Ayd (1986) reported that the freshness of the food is a key issue with MAOIs and that as long as foods are purchased from reputable shops and stored properly, the danger of a hypertensive crisis is minimal. |

|
***AVOID ANY FOODS THAT ARE SUSPECTED OF BEING SPOILED (i.e. FOOD THAT HAS BEEN LEFT IN THE REFRIGERATOR TOO LONG. FOOD THAT HAS BEEN LEFT OUT OVERNIGHT. FOOD THAT HAS BEEN LEFT OUT TO DEFROST FOR TOO LONG.)*** |
|
|
**NOTES** ANY PROTEIN FOOD, improperly stored or handled, can form pressor amines through protein breakdown. | |
|
The tyramine content of foods varies greatly due to the differences in processing, fermentation, ripening, degradation, or incidental contamination. Many foods contain small amounts of tyramine and the formation of large quantities of tyramine have been reported if products were aged, fermented, or left to spoil. Because the sequela from tyramine and MAOIs is dose-related, reactions can be minimized without total abstinence from tyramine-containing foods. Approximately 10 to 25 mg of tyramine is required for a severe reaction compared to 6 to 10 mg for a mild reaction. Foods that normally contain low amounts of tyramine may become a risk if unusually large quantities are consumed or if spoilage has occurred (McCabe, 1986). No detectable tyramine levels were identified in country CURED HAM (McCabe, 1986). The foods to use with caution list categorizes foods that have been reported to cause a hypertensive crisis if foods were consumed in large quantities, stored for prolong periods, or if contamination occurred. Small servings (1/2 cup, or less than 120 mL) of the following foods are not expected to pose a risk for patients on MAOI therapy (McCabe, 1986). | |
