How does Moclobemide work? What will it do for me?
Moclobemide belongs to the class of antidepressants known as monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. It is used to treat depression. Depression is believed to be caused by imbalances in certain brain chemicals. Moclobemide works by bringing these chemicals back into balance.
Your doctor may have suggested Moclobemide for conditions other than the ones listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Moclobemide, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Moclobemide without consulting your doctor.
How should I use Moclobemide?
The recommended dose of moclobemide for adults ranges from 150 mg to 300 mg, taken twice daily after meals. The usual starting dose is 150 mg twice daily. If necessary, your doctor may increase your dose gradually to a maximum of 300 mg twice daily. Moclobemide may take a few days to several weeks to achieve the best effect. Unlike other MAO inhibitors, no special dietary restrictions are necessary when taking moclobemide. It is very important, however, to always take Moclobemide immediately after you have eaten.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you take the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important that Moclobemide be taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Do not stop taking Moclobemide, even if you start to feel better, without first talking with your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue on with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
