The MAOIs have certain dietary restrictions and drug interactions. The amount of such restrictions and interactions is far less than previously thought, and MAOIs are generally safe medications when administered correctly. Hypertensive crisis is generally a rare occurrence while taking MAOIs, yet may result from the overconsumption of tyramine-containing foods. As a result, patients on<unk>  and other MAOIs must avoid excess quantities of certain foods that contain tyramine such as aged cheeses and cured meats, among others. Serotonin syndrome may result from an interaction with certain drugs which increase serotonin activity such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin releasing agents, and serotonin agonists. As is the case with other MAOIs, there is a concern regarding<unk>  and the use of both local and general anesthetics. Anyone taking<unk>  should inform their dentist before proceeding with dental surgery, and surgeon in any other contexts.<unk>  has also been linked to vitamin B6 deficiency. Transaminases such as GABA-transaminase have been shown to be dependent upon vitamin B6 and may be involved in a potentially related process, since the<unk>  metabolite phenylethylidenehydrazine (PEH) is a GABA transaminase inhibitor. Both<unk>  and vitamin B6 are rendered inactive upon these reactions occurring. For this reason, it may be recommended to supplement with vitamin B6 while taking<unk> . The pyridoxine form of B6 is recommended for supplementation, since this form has been shown to reduce hydrazine toxicity from<unk>  and, in contrast, the pyridoxal form has been shown to increase the toxicity of hydrazines.
