Venlafaxine

Nervous System Agents

Venlafaxine is an oral antidepressant medicine that the ChEMBL database records as a small molecule with an approved indication of depressive disorder. ChEMBL gives its first approval as 1993 and its highest development phase as 4, which means it has reached the market, and the World Health Organization classification places it at ATC code N06AX16 in the nervous system group. Its adopted name carries the stem -faxine, which the United States Adopted Names programme defines as an antianxiety, antidepressant inhibitor of norepinephrine and dopamine re-uptake, and the name was adopted in 1989. ChEMBL flags a boxed warning for the drug and records it as an oral product. This entry records what the sources state and is not medical advice.
