Moclobemide is a short-acting, reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO). It is a benzamide derivative which inhibits the deamination of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. This action leads to increased concentrations of these neurotransmitters, which may account for the antidepressant activity of moclobemide. 2, record 1, English, - moclobemide

Le moclobémide, inhibiteur réversible et sélectif de la monoamine oxydase-A ou MAO-A (RIMA), est un médicament indiqué dans les troubles dépressifs majeurs. Il est aussi efficace que les antidépresseurs tricycliques ou que les inhibiteurs sélectifs de la recapture de la sérotonine dans cette indication. Ses caractéristiques pharmacocinétiques et le faible nombre d'interactions qu'il présente avec les autres médicaments sont en faveur d'une bonne maniabilité thérapeutique de cette molécule. 2, record 1, French, - moclob%C3%A9mide
