What the FDA labels say about taking them together
Isocarboxazid and rizatriptan
Rizatriptan's FDA label of January 29, 2026 names isocarboxazid in its drug interactions section; the isocarboxazid label PlainMeds reads does not name rizatriptan. The rizatriptan label: “Plasma concentrations of rizatriptan may be increased by drugs that are selective MAO-A inhibitors (e.g., moclobemide) or nonselective MAO inhibitors [type A and B].”
