I am not a doctor, but I have a little bit about this and I think it will be shut down no influence on his medication, but the immune system. The cough may help to recover, but you leave susceptance colds or other viruses in the air.

I am not a doctor either, but I would say that nothing cautiously with an MAO inhibitor to be. Although I recommend you watch what you are eating, plus alcohol, cheese, some soups, etc. Avoid Tylenol, antihistamines, and especially nothing contendo dextromethorphan, or DXM. Among all the while using DXM containing MAO inhibitors may cause serotonin syndrome.

"The symptoms of serotonin syndrome are: euphoria, drowsiness, sustained rapid eye movement, overreaction of the reflexes, rapid contraction and relaxation in the ankle causing abnormal movements of the foot, clumsiness, restlessness, feeling drunk and dizzy, muscle contraction and relaxation of the jaw, sweating , intoxication, muscle cramps, pain, high fever, mental status changes were frequent (including confusion and hypomania - a "happy drunk" state), shivering, diarrhea, loss of consciousness and death.
- Serotonin syndrome, American Journal of Psychiatry, June 1991

If the act in question suggest that I contact you useDoctor or if your area has a dial to a nursing program, and ask yourself exactly what may or may not have, if you are a MAOI. Or if you are in doubt, Google.
