Indications:
Vintelix 5mg is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults.
Pharmacology:
Vortioxetine, the active ingredient, is a serotonin modulator and stimulator. It increases serotonin activity in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake and modulating multiple serotonin receptors, thereby improving depressive symptoms and cognitive function.

The usual starting dose is 5 mg once daily, with or without food. The dose may be increased gradually depending on the patient’s response. Dose adjustment may be needed in elderly or sensitive patients.
Interaction:
May interact with MAO inhibitors, serotonergic drugs (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs), anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, and CYP enzyme modulators. Risk of serotonin syndrome with certain combinations.
Contraindications:
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Vortioxetine. Do not use concurrently with or within 14 days of MAO inhibitors.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, constipation, and abnormal dreams. Less common effects may include dry mouth, increased sweating, and sexual dysfunction.
Pregnancy & Lactation:
Use only if clearly necessary. There are limited data on safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so caution is advised.
