Description:
Vortioxetine Hydrobromide 10mg is a prescription antidepressant primarily used to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults. It belongs to a novel class of medications called serotonin modulators and stimulators. Unlike traditional SSRIs, vortioxetine not only inhibits the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) but also modulates multiple serotonin receptors, which enhances mood, cognition, and overall mental health.
Its dual mechanism of action makes it beneficial in treating cognitive dysfunction associated with depression, a key differentiator from other antidepressants. It is well-tolerated, with a low risk of weight gain or sexual side effects compared to older antidepressants.
