In reply to Re: Emsam 9 mg patch--foods to be avoided, posted by Jost on May 21, 2006, at 14:11:16
This is the list from the Emsam package insert of acceptable foods, containing little or no tyramine, for those taking 9 mg and 12 mg/24 hours.
1 Meat, Poultry, Fish
-Fresh meat, poultry and fish, including fresh processed meats (such as lunch meats, hot dogs, breakfast sausage and cooked sliced ham)
2. Vegetables
-All other vegetables (except broad beans--see other list)
3. Dairy
-Processed cheeses, mozarella, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt
4. Drinks
-As with other antidepressants, concomitant use of alcohol with Emsam is not recommended. (Bottled and canned beers and wines contain little or no tyramine.)
5. Other
-Brewer's yeast, baker's yeast
-Soy milk
-Pizzas from commercial chain restaurants prepared with cheeses low in tyramine(Note: the unacceptable list applied also to those on 12 mg, of course.)
