Mark,

I am aware of the differences between the two types of MAO
inhibitors.  Even though such difference exists, there are still
occasional interactions between Selegiline and cheeses containing
tyramine, red wine, etc.  Besides, we don't even know at this time
whether the patient is taking Selegiline or not.  And we also don't
know of any *other* drugs that the patient may be taking, either.


Best,

Bob
