Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isocarboxazid and Phenelzine are both monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) that require patients to follow a tyramine-free diet to avoid potentially dangerous interactions. Tyramine is found in certain foods and beverages, and when ingested with MAOIs, can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure known as a hypertensive crisis. Valproic acid, Lithium carbonate, and Buspirone do not have this interaction and do not require a tyramine-free diet.
