title: Moclobemide (Ro 11-1163) versus imipramine in the treatment of depression.
abstract: Moclobemide and imipramine were compared single-blind in 2 groups of 20 depressed patients (75% and 65% endogenous depression respectively). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in improvement on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression. The final overall assessment of efficacy was good or very good in 80% of the moclobemide patients and 55% on imipramine. Tolerance was good to very good in 95% of moclobemide patients, compared with 80% on imipramine. No severe adverse effects were reported in either group.
