Parnate (tranylcypromine) Indications

Parnate, generic name tranylcypromine, is an oral medication used to treat a type of depression called major depressive disorder (MDD). This medication is given to adult patients who did not respond well to other antidepressant medications.

Parnate is not used as the initial treatment for MDD due to the risk of serious adverse effects, drug interactions, and certain dietary restrictions.

Parnate is classified as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). The exact action of this oral medication has not been determined yet. However, it is known to inhibit the monoamine oxidase enzyme, which results in the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain.
