Vortioxetine
Vortioxetine is a serotonergic antidepressant used for major depressive disorder. Benefit develops gradually, while nausea or activation may occur earlier.
Key points
- New suicidal thoughts, severe agitation or mania requires prompt assessment.
- Other serotonergic medicines can cause serotonin syndrome.
- Bleeding risk can increase with anticoagulants, antiplatelets or NSAIDs.

What vortioxetine is used for
