What is the brand name of Isocarboxazid?

Isocarboxazid is a type of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used primarily in the treatment of depression. The correct brand name for Isocarboxazid is Marplan. Understanding brand names in psychopharmacology is crucial, as medications can have different brand names depending on the manufacturer or country, but the same active ingredient.

In this context, while other options represent different MAOIs—Parnate is the brand name for Tranylcypromine, Nardil for Phenelzine, and Emsam for Selegiline—only Marplan corresponds to Isocarboxazid. This distinction helps clinicians and students know which medication they are discussing, ensuring accurate communication about treatment choices.
