Frequently asked questions

What is Moclobemide Sandoz used for?+
Moclobemide Sandoz contains the reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor moclobemide and is prescribed for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adult patients. It helps to alleviate depressive symptoms by increasing the availability of key neurotransmitters in the brain.
How does moclobemide work?+
Moclobemide selectively blocks the enzyme monoamine oxidase A (MAO‑A). This inhibition reduces the breakdown of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine, resulting in higher concentrations of these mood‑regulating neurotransmitters and an improvement in depressive symptoms.
What is the usual dose of Moclobemide Sandoz?+
The dosage of Moclobemide Sandoz is individualized by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, response, and tolerability. The prescriber determines the appropriate strength, frequency and duration of therapy.
Is Moclobemide Sandoz safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The pregnancy category for moclobemide is not definitively established. It should only be used during pregnancy or lactation when the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and after a careful risk‑benefit assessment by the healthcare provider.
