New Product - Brintellix

Brintellix (vortioxetine (as hydrobromide)) is a 5-HT₃, 5-HT₇, and 5-HT_1D receptor antagonist; its mechanism of action is thought to be related to its multimodal activity: direct modulation of receptor activity and inhibition of the serotonin transporter. Brintellix is indicated in the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults including prevention of relapse. Vortioexetine is not indicated for paediatric use. Brintellix should not be used in combination with a MAOI, or within at least 14 days of discontinuing treatment with an MAOI. Brintellix should be discontinued for at least 14 days before starting treatment with a MAOI. Brintellix is available as 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg and 20 mg film coated tablets in blister packs of 28’s.
