Drug Details
Phenelzine, marketed as Nardil, is a medication prescribed for adults experiencing depression. It is part of the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) drug class. This medication functions by inhibiting the MAO enzymes, specifically MAO-A and MAO-B, which are responsible for breaking down mood-regulating chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine in the brain. By doing so, phenelzine helps restore the balance of these natural substances, potentially improving mood. Although effective, phenelzine is not typically the first choice for treating depression due to its numerous interactions with foods and other drugs, as well as its potential to cause side effects such as drowsiness, weight gain, and issues related to sexual health. Always consult healthcare professionals before starting this medication to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.
