Common use
Ventodep ER is primarily indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. It may also be used off-label for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder, under specialist supervision. Its extended-release profile makes it particularly suitable for long-term management where consistent serotonergic and noradrenergic activity is desired.
Dosage and direction
The recommended starting dose for Ventodep ER is 75 mg once daily, taken with food to enhance absorption and minimize gastrointestinal upset. Dosage may be titrated in increments of 75 mg at intervals of no less than 4 days, based on therapeutic response and tolerability, up to a maximum of 225 mg daily. Tablets should be swallowed whole; crushing, chewing, or dividing alters release kinetics and is contraindicated. Administration in the morning is advised to mitigate potential sleep disturbances.
Precautions
Patients should be monitored for emergence of anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, akathisia, hypomania, or mania, particularly during initial treatment or dose adjustments. Caution is advised in patients with a history of seizures, bipolar disorder, or hepatic/renal impairment. Regular assessment of blood pressure is recommended due to potential dose-related increases. Abrupt discontinuation may lead to withdrawal symptoms; taper gradually under medical supervision.
Contraindications
Ventodep ER is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to venlafaxine or any excipients in the formulation. Concurrent use with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) is prohibited due to risk of serotonin syndrome; a washout period of at least 14 days is required after discontinuing an MAOI before initiating Ventodep ER, and vice versa. It is also contraindicated in individuals with uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma.
Possible side effects
Common adverse reactions (≥5% incidence) include nausea, dry mouth, sweating, somnolence, dizziness, insomnia, constipation, and nervousness. Less frequently, hypertension, palpitations, blurred vision, abnormal dreams, and weight changes may occur. Sexual dysfunction, including decreased libido and anorgasmia, has been reported. Serious but rare side effects include serotonin syndrome, hyponatremia, increased bleeding risk, and interstitial lung disease. Most side effects are dose-dependent and may diminish over time.
Drug interaction
Ventodep ER exhibits significant interactions with serotonergic agents (e.g., SSRIs, SNRIs, triptans, tramadol), increasing serotonin syndrome risk. Concurrent use with NSAIDs, aspirin, or anticoagulants may elevate bleeding tendency. Strong CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., quinidine, fluoxetine) can increase venlafaxine levels. It may reduce the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs. Caution is advised with drugs that prolong QT interval. Always review full medication history before prescribing.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered unless it is接近 the time for the next scheduled dose. In that case, the missed dose should be skipped, and the regular dosing schedule resumed. Doubling doses to compensate for a missed dose is not recommended due to increased risk of adverse effects.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include dizziness, sedation, tachycardia, changes in blood pressure, seizures, and serotonin syndrome. Specific symptoms such as QTc prolongation or coma may occur in severe cases. Management involves supportive care, including airway protection, ECG monitoring, and symptomatic treatment. Activated charcoal may be administered if ingestion was recent. There is no specific antidote; hemodialysis is unlikely to be effective due to high volume of distribution.
Storage
Store Ventodep ER at controlled room temperature (20–25°C), away from moisture, light, and excessive heat. Keep in the original blister pack until use to protect from humidity. Ensure the packaging is kept out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion. Do not use if the packaging is compromised or tablets show signs of damage or discoloration.

Always consider individual patient factors, including comorbidities, concomitant medications, and therapeutic history, when prescribing Ventodep ER. Patients must follow their healthcare provider’s instructions and report any adverse effects promptly.
Reviews
Clinical studies and post-marketing surveillance indicate that Ventodep ER is well-tolerated and effective for long-term depressive disorder management. In a 12-week randomized controlled trial, 68% of patients experienced significant improvement in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores. Patients frequently report improved mood consistency and fewer side effects compared to immediate-release alternatives. Healthcare providers appreciate its pharmacokinetic profile for maintaining therapeutic stability and supporting patient adherence.
