Hi Zero,

Albuterol and salmeterol do not appear to interact with Nardil. There is an isolated report of a man on an MAOI who felt nervous and had a racing heart after taking albuterol - these are common albuterol side effects however and do not necessarily represent an interaction.

There is no evidence that combining albuterol or salmeterol with Nardil would cause a hypertensive crisis.

>Various online drug interaction checkers give different results.

Beta-2 agonists are 'sympathomimetics'. Some sympathomimetics (such as ephedrine) interact with MAOIs whereas others (eg. salmeterol) do not. Some drug interaction references lump all the sympathomimetics together as if they were all identical.........but they are *not* identical!
