> Is Propofol (anesthetic) safe to use with Parnate.
> My Gastroenteroloygist wants to do an Endoscopy and use Propofol.I am not aware of any specific interaction between propofol and MAOIs. IV benzodiazepines (most often midazolam) are also used during endoscopy. Monitoring of BP and oxygen saturation is needed.
Meperidine/Pethidine is sometimes used as an analgesic using endoscopy. It is vital that your doctors are aware that it can interact severely with MAOIs and must not be used.
