SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Tranylcypromine, like most monoamine oxidase inhibitors, can cause transient serum aminotransferase elevations in a proportion of patients. These elevations are usually mild, asymptomatic and self-limited and do not require dose modification. Tranylcypromine has also been associated with rare cases of acute, clinically apparent liver injury. The few cases described have resembled those caused by other MAO inhibitors. The time to clinical onset is typically 1 to 4 months and the usual pattern of serum enzyme elevations is hepatocellular (Case 1), although cholestatic injury has also been described. Immunoallergic features (rash, fever, eosinophilia) are uncommon as is autoantibody formation.

Tranylcypromine is a nonhydrazine monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAO inhibitor) used in therapy of severe depression. Tranylcypromine therapy is associated with rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

Agents that alleviate ANXIETY, tension, and ANXIETY DISORDERS, promote sedation, and have a calming effect without affecting clarity of consciousness or neurologic conditions. ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS are commonly used in the symptomatic treatment of anxiety but are not included here. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Anxiety Agents.)|Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems.
