... smoking?
I cant find the answer to this. Zyban with moclobemide is considered not safe. I hope I can take this newer anti smoking aid!
Varenicline - I take 300mg Moclobemide daily. Is it safe for me to also take chantix to help me stop

Moclobemide is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
I have used the monoamine oxidase inhibitor available in the United States (Selegiline) to do an interaction check, as shown in the link below. Moclobemide is not an approved medicine in the United States.

It shows that there are no known interactions between selegiline and Chantix (varenicline). I would say it would be safe to say that it would be okay to take Chantix with moclobemide. BUT please get your doctor to check this out as well.
Perhaps your local pharmacy has an interaction database, including moclobemide and they could check out if there is an interaction between Chantix and moclobemide. All the best.
