Venlafaxine hydrochloride

Venlafaxine hydrochloride is used for the treatment of severe mental depression.

Chemical Formula: C₁₇H₂₇NO₂HCl

Other names: effexor, (R/S)-1-[2-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl] cyclohexanol hydrochloride

Layman's explanation: Venlafaxine hydrochloride is white to off-white crystalline solid. Venlafaxine hydrochloride is an extended-release drug prescribed for the treatment of severe mental depression, for the management of anxiety disorders or the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. However, venlafaxine usually is not indicated for the treatment of anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life. Venlafaxine works inhibiting both serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake. It is also used to treat OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) or FMS (Fibromyalgia). This drug can present adverse reactions such as tremors, nausea, hyperthermia, dizziness and seizures. Other side effects include anxiety, constipation, dry mouth, loss of appetite, loss of strength, itching, and weight loss.
