Nietinrijdenbord.png Stop moclobemide
  • In general after long-term maintenance treatment, the best is to reduce the dose by about 25% every 4-6 weeks. An apt pharmaceutical dose (tablet, capsule, mixture) is not always available. In these cases one should be creative with dosing.[1][2]
  • Another, more risky, possibility is being at a certain dose to use the following scheme:
  • 300 mg/day:
  • Day 1: reduce dosage of moclobemide to 150 mg/day.
  • Day 15: reduce dosage of moclobemide to 75 mg/day.
  • Day 29: stop the administration of moclobemide.

  2. Editor: please note that not all dosages are available in pharmacy. So now and then you should be creative.
