When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants is contraindicated in patients with cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease, including hypertension and congestive heart failure. Nonspecific MAOIs inhibit the breakdown of pressor amines, the accumulation of which can precipitate hypertensive crises. Intracranial hemorrhage and death have resulted in some cases. MAOI antidepressants are also commonly associated with dose-related orthostatic hypotension, which occurs most frequently in patients with preexisting hypertension but may be minimized with slow, gradual titration. Blood pressure should be monitored closely in all patients who receive MAOI therapy, and patients should be advised to stop taking the medication and seek medical attention immediately if signs and symptoms of a hypertensive reaction occur (e.g., occipital headache which may radiate frontally; palpitation; neck stiffness or soreness; nausea or vomiting; perspiration associated with fever or cold, clammy skin; mydriasis; photophobia; constricting chest pain).
