Etymology

Iproclozide is a modern drug name, and a helpful way to remember it is to notice the start pro- which looks like 'for' and the ending -zide which appears in many medicine names, so you can think 'a drug for' 'mood'. It was an older antidepressant that worked by blocking an enzyme that breaks down the chemicals that help mood, which is why it was used to treat depression.
