Moclobemide, a benzamide, is one of the new-generation monoamine oxidase-A inhibitors (MAO-AIs) which belongs to the class of reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (RIMA). Numerous studies have shown that moclobemide is well-tolerated and as effective as other antidepressants. So far, there is no evidence available regarding its efficacy and tolerability in India.
