1. 
WHAT  IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR 

 is an antidepressant that belongs to a group
of medicines called serotonin and 
norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This group
of medicines is used to treat depression and 
other conditions, such as anxiety disorders. It is thought
that people who are depressed and/or anxious 
have lower levels of serotonin and
noradrenaline in the brain. It is not fully understood how 
antidepressants work, but they may help by
increasing the levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the 
brain.  

 is a treatment for adults with depression.
Treating depression properly is important to 
help you get better. If it is not treated, your condition may
not go away and may become more serious 
and more difficult to treat.

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS

Treatment of major depressive episodes.
For prevention of recurrence of major depressive episodes.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Major depressive episodes
The recommended starting dose of immediate-release venlafaxine is 75
mg/day in two or three divided doses taken
with food. Patients not responding to the initial 75 mg/day dose may
benefit from dose increases up to a maximum dose
of 375 mg/day. Dosage increases can be made at intervals of 2 weeks or
more. If clinically warranted due to symptom
severity, dose increases can be made at more frequent intervals, but
not less than 4 days.
Because of the risk of dose-related adverse effects, dose increments
should be made only after a clinical evaluation (see
section 4.4). The lowest effective dose should be maintained.
Patients should be treated for a sufficient period of time, usually
several months or longer. Treatment should be
reassessed regularly on a case-by-case basis. Longer-term treatment
may also be appropriate for prevention of
recurrence of major depressive episodes (MDE). In most of the cases,
the recommended dose in prevention of
recurrence of MDE is the same as the one used during the current
episode.
Antidepressive medicinal products should continue for at least six
months following remission.
