Moclobemide
Moclobemide is a reversible selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), primarily used for the treatment of depression. It increases the concentration of monoamines such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the synaptic cleft without causing irreversible enzyme inhibition. Due to its reversible action, the risk of severe side effects and interactions is lower than with classical irreversible MAO inhibitors. Nevertheless, interactions with certain foods and medications are possible, which is why caution is advised.
