MAOIs: Mechanism of Action, Common Medications, and Side Effects

Описание: Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are a class of medications primarily used to treat depression. They work by inhibiting the activity of monoamine oxidase enzymes (MAO-A and MAO-B). These enzymes are responsible for breaking down neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. By inhibiting these enzymes, MAOIs increase the levels of these neurotransmitters, which can help improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms.
