CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
DESVENLAFAXINE AMNEAL is indicated for the treatment of major
depressive disorder,
including the prevention of relapse.
DESVENLAFAXINE AMNEAL is not indicated for paediatric use.
4.2
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Desvenlafaxine should be taken at approximately the same time each
day. Tablets must be
swallowed whole with fluid and not divided, crushed, chewed, or
dissolved.
_INITIAL TREATMENT_
The recommended dose for desvenlafaxine is 50 mg once daily, with or
without food. In clinical
trials, no additional benefit was demonstrated at doses greater than
50 mg/day. Based on clinical
judgment, if dose increases are indicated for individual patients,
they should occur gradually and at
intervals of not less than 7 days. The maximum dose should not exceed
200 mg/day.
When discontinuing therapy, gradual dose reduction is recommended
whenever possible to minimise
discontinuation symptoms (see Section 4.4
SPECIAL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR
USE
and Section 4.8
ADVERSE EFFECTS (UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS))
.
_MAINTENANCE/CONTINUATION/EXTENDED TREATMENT_

disorder require several months or
longer of sustained pharmacological therapy. Patients should continue
on the same dose at which
