BehaveNet® Clinical Capsule™:

Action: reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (RIMA)


These drugs, a subset of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), inhibit only isoenzyme A and are reversible.  Isoenzyme B remains free to metabolize tyramine contained in some foods, so they are safer and may not require a special diet.

Specific drugs: brofaromine, moclobemide
