Clinical observations on iproniazid in idiots with epilepsy.

In contradistinction to the observation made before that iproniazid has a potentiating effect on certain amines in guinea pigs, human studies have shown that this effect has very little clinical importance, when both the amines and the amine oxidase inhibitor are given in the usual therapeutic doses. However, neither in man nor in the guinea pig pretreatment with iproniazid showed a potentiating effect on amines which are not substrates of monoamine oxidase (ephedrine and amphetamine). Patients with epilepsy and allergic disease may receive iproniazid.
