It contains venlafaxine, which works to alter the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, which helps improve mood and reduce stress and irritability. It is given in gradual doses according to the doctor's instructions to avoid side effects. It is also used to treat panic attacks and social phobia. The patient requires regular monitoring of liver and kidney function and blood pressure during treatment. The medication should not be stopped suddenly to avoid withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, anxiety, and psychological disturbance.
