WHAT DESVENLAFAXINE GH
XR IS USED FOR
_WHAT IT DOES _
Desvenlafaxine GH XR is used
in the treatment and prevention
of relapse of depression.
Depression can affect your
whole body and may cause
emotional and physical
symptoms such as feeling low in
spirit, being unable to enjoy life,
poor appetite or overeating,
disturbed sleep, loss of sex
drive, lack of energy and feeling
guilty over nothing.

MEDICINE HAS BEEN PRESCRIBED
FOR YOU.
Your doctor may have
prescribed it for another reason.
_HOW IT WORKS _
Desvenlafaxine GH XR contains
the active ingredient called
desvenlafaxine benzoate. It
belongs to a class of
medications called Serotonin-
Noradrenaline Reuptake
Inhibitors (SNRIs).
Serotonin and noradrenaline are
chemical messengers that allow
certain nerves in the brain to
work.
Desvenlafaxine GH XR tablets
increase the level of these two
messengers. Experts think this
is how it helps to restore your
feeling of wellness.
Desvenlafaxine GH XR is not
addictive. It is available only with
a doctor's prescription.

Desvenlafaxine GH XR in
