MAOI's and liver function tests

Posted by gardenergirl on June 8, 2004, at 9:41:24

Does anyone on MAOI's get regular liver function tests? I know that hepatotoxicity is a rare side effect, but is it a routine thing to check?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi GardenGirl,

Marplan & Nardil are more hepatotoxic than the other availables as they are hydrazine based. I would get a liver test every six months on these two.

Cheers,
