Product Details

Vorbo 10mg contains Vortioxetine, a multimodal antidepressant that works by modulating the activity of serotonin in the brain. It functions as an agonist, antagonist, and partial agonist at different serotonin receptors, and also inhibits the serotonin transporter. These combined actions help improve mood, relieve anxiety, and enhance cognitive functions like memory and learning, contributing to its effectiveness in treating depression.

Purpose

Vorbo 10mg is primarily used for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults. It helps improve mood, relieve anxiety, and restore a sense of well-being. It can also support cognitive function, benefiting memory and attention in individuals experiencing depression.

Warnings

1. Suicidal Risk: Depression, especially in the early stages of treatment, is associated with a higher risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Patients on Vorbo should be monitored closely, especially during the initial weeks of treatment, until significant improvement occurs.
2. Seizure Risk: Vortioxetine may increase the risk of seizures, especially in individuals with a history of epilepsy or those who experience unstable seizure conditions. Treatment should be discontinued if seizures occur or if there is a noticeable increase in seizure frequency.
3. Aggression and Irritability: Some patients may experience increased agitation, aggression, or irritability while on antidepressants, including Vorbo. Any significant change in behavior should be reported to a healthcare professional immediately.
