«In clinical trials, moclobemide appeared only slightly less well tolerated than placebo. In comparative trials, moclobemide was largely devoid of the anticholinergic effects associated with tricyclic antidepressants. To the end of June 1993, with an estimated 780,000 subjects exposed, AEs had been reported by less than 0.2% of users. The most frequently reported AEs were psychiatric, neurologic, and gastrointestinal disorders. Hepatobiliary AEs were rare, suggesting that moclobemide is largely devoid of hepatotoxic potential. Cardiovascular AEs reflected the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the population treated. This safety profile is largely unchanged from those observed at 1 and 2 years postlaunch, when the estimated exposed populations were 168,000 and 328,000, respectively. It is of great significance that the fatal toxicity index of moclobemide is zero. A review of single-drug intoxications with moclobemide at doses of up to 20.55 g revealed no deaths due solely to moclobemide overdose. All patients recovered fully within 1 to 7 days without residual hepatic or cardiovascular toxicity.»
