Venlafaxine

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Venlafaxine but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Venlafaxine
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Venlafaxine, an antidepressant agent structurally unrelated to other antidepressants, is used to treat melancholia, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and hot flashes in breast cancer survivors. For the treatment of severe depression

Mechanism Of Action:
Venlafaxine and its active metabolite, O-desmethylvenlafaxine (ODV), inhibit the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine with a potency greater for the 5-HT than for the NE reuptake process. Both venlafaxine and the ODV metabolite have weak inhibitory effects on the reuptake of dopamine but, unlike the tricyclics and similar to SSRIs, they are not active at histaminergic, muscarinic, or alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors.
