Desvenlafaxine 50mg
Desvenlafaxine 50mg (Newven) is an antidepressant of the SNRI (Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor) class that may be prescribed to help with treating depression. SNRIs work by allowing the brain to produce more of the chemicals in the brain called Serotonin and Norepinephrine. Desvenlafaxine is also being considered as the first non-hormonal treatment for menopause. Desvenlafaxine is a synthetic form of the primary metabolite in venlafaxine.
Serotonin and Norepinephrine are believed to help with regulating the mood. However, the issue of this is complex as each person can have a different level of chemicals in the brain. That is why it can take time for the right amount of Desvenlafaxine to be determined. The doctor will start you with a low dose and then it can be gradually increased over time to get to where it offers the most overall benefit.
