RxList Monograph

Parnate (tranylcypromine sulfate) is prescribed for the treatment of major depressive episodes without melancholia; it should be used in adult patients who can be closely supervised. It should rarely be the first antidepressant drug given. Rather, the drug is suited for patients who have failed to respond to the drugs more commonly administered for depression.
