Muclobmide drug information
Muclobemide is prescribed for people with depression or social anxiety disorder, especially if other treatments are not successful. Depression can occur for no apparent reason or as a result of social issues such as the loss of loved ones or various illnesses. Anxiety is the most common symptom in social anxiety disorder and it is called social fear (phobia). This disease is such that a person experiences fear and anxiety when talking and socializing with others.
Muclobamide interacts with brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. It works by reducing the activity of an enzyme called monoamine oxidase A, which increases the levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. Changing the balance of these brain chemicals can help relieve the symptoms of depression and social anxiety disorder.
