Question:
Low level of noradrenaline is the cause of depression. What types of drugs are needed to cure this problem? Name two drugs.
Solution:
Anti-depressant drugs are needed to counteract the effect of depression. These drugs inhibit enzymes catalysing the degradation of the neurotransmitter, noradrenaline. As a result, the important neurotransmitter is slowly metabolised and then it can activate its receptor for longer periods of time.
Two anti-depressant drugs are:
(i) Iproniazid
(ii) Phenelzine
