About moclobemide

What is moclobemide used for?

Moclobemide is a type of एंटीडिप्रेसेंट that is prescribed for people with depression or social anxiety disorder, particularly if other treatments have proved unsuccessful.

Moclobemide works by interfering with brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters. It works by reducing the action of an enzyme called monoamine oxidase A. By doing this, it increases the levels of the neurotransmitters, serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. Altering the balance of these brain chemicals can help with the symptoms of depression and social anxiety disorder.

अवसाद can develop for no apparent reason, or it can be triggered by a life event such as a relationship problem, a bereavement, or an illness. सामाजिक चिंता विकार is also known as social phobia - it is a fear of behaving in an embarrassing way whilst talking or meeting with other people.
