NEXVENLA OD 100MG TAB 10 S

About

NEXVENLA OD 100MG TAB contains Desvenlafaxine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant, specifically formulated for the treatment of major depressive disorder. It functions by increasing the levels of two crucial neurotransmitters, serotonin and norepinephrine, in the brain. These chemicals are integral to regulating mood, emotional responses, and overall mental well-being. By restoring the balance of these neurotransmitters, Desvenlafaxine helps to alleviate the debilitating symptoms of depression, such as persistent sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, changes in sleep patterns, and fatigue. The "OD" (once daily) formulation ensures a sustained and consistent release of the medication throughout the day, providing continuous therapeutic effects and simplifying the dosing regimen for patients.
