Brintellix 10mg Tablets contain vortioxetine, an antidepressant that modulates serotonin receptors and inhibits serotonin reuptake. It is used to treat major depressive episodes in adults and may help improve mood, interest in daily activities, concentration, sleep, and overall functioning.
The usual recommended starting dose for adults under 65 years is 10 mg once daily, with dose adjustments based on individual response and tolerability. Continued treatment after symptom improvement helps reduce the risk of relapse.
