Description

Vortioxetine (generic name: vortioxetine) is used to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults. It is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and serotonin receptor modulator that helps restore the serotonin balance in the brain. Low serotonin levels can cause depression, anxiety, mania, and other mental health conditions.

Vortioxetine works to block serotonin reuptake. It differs from other SSRIs by directly modulating various serotonin receptors.

Dosage

Follow the directions on the prescription label. Use the medicine exactly as directed. Vortioxetine can be taken with or without food. Do not double dose the next day if a dose was wholly forgotten. Don’t alter the dosage without consulting a healthcare provider, even if the symptoms seem to have gone away.

Storage

Store Vortioxetine away from the reach of children in temperatures below 30°C / 85°F. Please read our tips on how to dispose of unused medicine safely.
