MAOIs (Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors) are a class of antidepressants that include medications such as phenelzine (Nardil), tranylcypromine (Parnate), and isocarboxazid (Marplan). These medications work by inhibiting the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which breaks down neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine. Due to potential dietary restrictions and interactions with other medications, MAOIs are typically prescribed when other antidepressants have been ineffective. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper guidance on their use.
