How it works
This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (venlafaxine hydrochloride). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.
The mechanism of action of venlafaxine in the treatment of MDD, GAD, SAD, and PD is unclear, but is thought to be related to the potentiation of serotonin and norepinephrine in the central nervous system, through inhibition of their reuptake.
Following absorption, venlafaxine undergoes extensive presystemic metabolism in the liver, primarily to ODV, but also to N-desmethylvenlafaxine, N,O-didesmethylvenlafaxine, and other minor metabolites.

Safety of the active substance
This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (venlafaxine hydrochloride). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.
WARNING: SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in pediatric and young adult patients in short-term studies.
- Hypersensitivity to venlafaxine hydrochloride, desvenlafaxine succinate, or any excipients in the venlafaxine hydrochloride extended-release capsules formulation ( 4 ).
- Concomitant use of monoaminoxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within 14 days of discontinuing an MAOI ( 4, 5.2, 7.1 ).
The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation in ≥1% of the venlafaxine hydrochloride extended-release capsules treated patients in the short-term studies (up to 12 weeks) across indications are shown in Table 7.
