Phenelzine
Phenelzine is an irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor used for the treatment of depression. It increases the availability of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine by inhibiting the MAO-A and MAO-B enzymes. Due to its mechanism of action, there is an increased risk of interactions with certain foods and medications, which can lead to severe side effects.

Mechanism of Action
