Desvenlafaxine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD). It is a synthetic form of the active metabolite of venlafaxine, an antidepressant. Desvenlafaxine is used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, which helps to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. Desvenlafaxine is available in both immediate-release and extended-release formulations. The extended-release formulation is used to treat depression in adults. Desvenlafaxine is a relatively new drug in the mental disorders drugs market. It is generally well-tolerated and has fewer side effects than other antidepressants. It is also effective in treating depression in patients who have not responded to other antidepressants. Some companies in the desvenlafaxine market include Pfizer, Mylan, and Sun Pharmaceuticals.
