An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

In the past they were prescribed for those resistant to tricyclic antidepressant therapy, but newer MAOIs are now sometimes used as first-line therapy. They are also used for treating agoraphobia and social anxiety. MAOIs, in their original form presented an unusual problem for the prescribing physician. If a physician was prescribing MAOIs for depression, he/she had to take into consideration the fact that he/she was offering the patient a ready, though unpleasant, route to suicide. Currently, the availability of Selegiline and moclobemide provides a safer alternative, although not always as effective as the old types.
