▼Moclobemide for depression

  • Relevant BNF section: 4.3.2

Abstract

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?
