Abstract
Patients with cirrhosis were found to be extremely sensitive to tranylcypromine, and the use of this drug for the treatment of depression in such patients is contraindicated. Amitriptyline has a wider margin of safety in such patients, but caution is necessary when the higher therapeutic doses are prescribed.Entities:
