Nardil is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor which acts selectively on the brain to resolve the depression. Nardil is safe and is effective at low dosage levels. Toxic effects on blood or liver are extremely rare. Nardil acts quickly. Response is usually seen within the first weeks or even days of treatment. Nardil provides reliable treatment for depressives —often the problem patients of a busy practice.
