OBJECTIVE To review the efficacy and safety of moclobemide in comparison with TCAs (for our purposes, "TCAs" will represent tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, including maprotilin and mianserin) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in elderly depressed patients. METHODS The efficacy data reviewed were obtained from the following sources: 1) results of published studies ...

1. Six lactating white women, aged 24-36 years, received a single oral dose of 300 mg moclobemide, between 09.00 h and 11.00 h, 3 to 5 days after the delivery of a full term neonate. 2. Complete milk collections were obtained before, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 h after drug administration by means of a breast pump. Venous blood samples were drawn before, and 0.5, 1, 3, 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 24 h post-dosing. 3...

Moclobemide is a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase-A inhibitor, which is used as an antidepressant. Three moclobemide analogues were synthesized by replacing moclobemide phenyl ring with substituted imidazoles. So, N-[(4-morpholinyl) ethyl)]-1-benzyl-2-(alkylthio)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxamides (7a-c) were synthesized and studied for the antidepressant activity using forced swimming test ...

OBJECTIVE Even though there are many drugs for the treatment of gastric ulcers, these drugs sometimes cannot succeed. Since the 1950s, antidepressant drugs have been used for several non-psychiatric indications. Many antidepressant drugs have been shown experimentally to produce antiulcer activity in various ulcer models. Moclobemide is an antidepressant drug which inhibits monoamine oxidase-A ...

BACKGROUND The effects of moclobemide on damaged ovarian tissue induced by ischemia- reperfusion and damaged contralateral ovarian tissue were investigated in rats, biochemically and histologically. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, 40 rats were equally divided into four groups: 10 mg/kg moclobemide, 20 mg/kg moclobemide, ischemia/reperfusion control, and intact control groups...

OBJECTIVE To compare response rates among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) treated with either moclobemide, an antidepressant thought to simultaneously enhance both noradrenergic and serotonergic neurotransmission, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). METHODS Using a random-effects model, we combined 12 trials involving 1207 outpatients with MDD. RESULTS Patients...

The aim of the study was to assess the 6-months treatment efficacy and 24-month follow up of three different therapeutic programs (A. moclobemide and supportive guidance, B. group cognitive-behavioral therapy and pill placebo, and C. combination of moclobemide and group cognitive-behavioral therapy) in patients with a generalized form of social phobia. Eighty one patients (38 males and 43 femal...

OBJECTIVE With respect to the pharmacotherapy of social anxiety disorder (SAD), it has been suggested that treatment duration is an important factor that can significantly predict responses. The present study aimed to compare the treatment adherence of SAD patients who were taking either SSRIs or reversible inhibitors of MAO-A (moclobemide) by measuring treatment duration and all-cause disconti...
