Moclobemide for depression. 1994


Moclobemide (Manerix--Roche), the first of a new class of antidepressant drugs, was launched in the UK last year. It is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A, which the manufacturer claims is a "first line treatment for major depression". Is this claim justified?

D000928 Antidepressive Agents Mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. Several MONOAMINE OXIDASE INHIBITORS are useful as antidepressants apparently as a long-term consequence of their modulation of catecholamine levels. The tricyclic compounds useful as antidepressive agents (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, TRICYCLIC) also appear to act through brain catecholamine systems. A third group (ANTIDEPRESSIVE AGENTS, SECOND-GENERATION) is a diverse group of drugs including some that act specifically on serotonergic systems.
