Re:  fava beans and eldepryl
 
Diet sheet given by neurologist when eldepryl was first prescribed
specifically warns against fava beans along with alcohol, cheese, sauerkraut,
chocolate, aged meat, etc.
 
Interaction can cause "a medical emergency"  later identified as extremely
high blood pressure.  Apparently, this warning is not issued to everyone, so
check with M.D. or pharmacist.
 
The issue needs to be clarified.
