MAOI (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor) is not an ingredient therefore cannot be "in" a drug. It is a classification of drug.
MAOIs are first generation antidepressant drugs which (today) are primarily used as a last resort due to the various adverse effects and food interactions.
The list of items (including drugs) which qualify as MAO inhibitors is extensive, and you may want to simply Google "list of MAOI's "

∙ 12y agoMonoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
The space between nerve cells contains monoamine oxidase, which destroys norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. MOAI's act to block the effect of monoamine oxidase to help relieve depression.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor MAOIs inhibit naturally occurring enzymes in the human body. This inhibition leads to increased levels of chemicals such as the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. By slowing their metabolism, MAOIs also allow chemicals such as N,N-DMT, to become active when taken orally.

∙ 9y agoMAO is the enzyme involved in the metabolism of Dopamine and metanephrines. Deficiency or excess of this enzyme/activity was linked with depression, anxiety, bulimia, Parkinson. MAOIs act by inhibiting the activity of monoamine oxidase, thus preventing the breakdown of monoamine neurotransmitters and thereby increasing their availability. There are two isoforms of monoamine oxidase, MAO-A and MAO-B. MAO-A preferentially deaminates serotonin, melatonin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. MAO-B preferentially deaminates phenylethylamine and trace amines. Dopamine is equally deaminated by both types. Because of potentially lethal dietary and drug interactions, monoamine oxidase inhibitors have historically been reserved as a last line of treatment, used only when other classes of antidepressant drugs (for example selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants) have failed. Exemples of MAOI: Isocarboxazid (Marplan), Isoniazid (Laniazid, Nydrazid), Nialamide (Niamid), Phenelzine (Nardil, Nardelzine), Procarbazine, Hydracarbazine<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

What medications does primidone interfere with?
Primidone may have negative interactions with adrenocorticoids (cortisone-like medications), antibiotics, antidepressants, anticoagulants, antihistimines, asthma medications, barbituates, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
With what medications may zonisamide may have negative interactions?
Zonisamide may have negative interactions with some antifungal medications, antihistimines, antidepressants, antibiotics, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
What medications cannot be taken with Oxazolindinediones?
may have negative interactions with some antacids, heartburn or acid reflux prevention medications, anticoagulants, antihistamines, antidepressants, antibiotics, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
With what medications may modafinil have negative interactions?
Modafinil may have negative interactions with some anticoagulants (blood thinners), antidepressants, antifungals, antibiotics, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
Maoi interact with nitrous oxide?
MAOIs do not interact with nitrous oxides. MAOIs affect monoamine compounds. Nitrous oxide is not one of these, so MAOIs do not affect the activity of nitrous oxide.
With what medications can phenobarbital interact?
Phenobarbital can interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), antidepressants, asthma medicine, cold medicine, anti-allergy medicine, sedatives, steroids, tranquilizers, and vitamins.
Which country gave us the word kiwi?

What drugs may react with the lidocaine patch?
The lidocaine patch may have rare negative interactions with digoxin (Lanoxin) or any medications for irregular heartbeats. Some antibiotics, antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may adversely react with the lidocaine patch
What medication do you take for depression?
There are four important classes of antidepressant medications. 1.) Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors - SSRI's such as Prozac or Fluoxetine, Paxil, or Celexa. 2.) Tricyclic Antidepressants - Amitryptaline or Imiprimine 3.) Serotonin and Norepinephine Reuptake Inhibitors - SNRI such as Cymbolta 4.) Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors - MAOIs such as Nardil These antidepressants have their own group of side effects and it is important that individuals evaluate, with their physician or therapist, whether a particular class or antidepressants will work for them. SSRI's, for example, usually have very few side effects, while MAOIs tend to have the more troublesome side effects.

What will happen if you combine shrooms and an anti deppresant They are the Panaeolus cyanescens and it is a MAOIs anti-dep Will it be a good mix or bad mix?
MAOIs can greatly potentiate the effects of magic mushrooms, possibly leading to an overly intense experience. Thus, such a combination is strongly discouraged.
