Description

Tranylcypromine is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used primarily in the treatment of major depressive disorder. It works by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, which helps improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that tranylcypromine may be referred to informally in some contexts, but it is important to use the formal term 'tranilcipromina' in clinical settings. Be cautious of potential confusion with other antidepressants, particularly those in the same class, as well as ensuring correct pronunciation to avoid misunderstandings.

Example Sentences

EN: The psychiatrist prescribed Tranylcypromine to help manage the patient's severe depression.

ES: El psiquiatra recetó tranilcipromina para ayudar a manejar la depresión severa del paciente.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing tranylcypromine with other MAOIs; mispronouncing 'tranilcipromina' as 'tranilcipromina'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
