Abstract

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are generally only initiated by specialists because of safety concerns, making GPs more wary of these medicines. This article discusses the important side‐effects and interactions of MAOIs and how these can be minimised, and explains why MAOI prescribing may be safer than we are led to believe.
