Venlor XR is prescribed for the treatment of depression and may also be used for various other conditions as advised by your healthcare provider. This medication is classified as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and functions by restoring the balance of specific natural substances in the brain (serotonin and norepinephrine), which can help improve certain mood disorders.
Follow your doctor's instructions when using Venlor XR. Refer to the medicine label for precise dosing details. Take Venlor XR orally with food. It is most effective when taken consistently at the same time each day. Even if you feel well, continue taking Venlor XR. Ensure you do not miss any doses and consult your doctor before suddenly discontinuing the use of Venlor XR.
Avoid using Venlor XR if: you have an allergy to any ingredient in Venlor XR; you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (such as phenelzine), selegiline, or St. John's wort in the past 14 days; you are using a fenfluramine derivative (like dexfenfluramine), methylene blue, sibutramine, nefazodone, or tryptophan.
If you forget to take a dose of Venlor XR, do so as soon as you remember. If the time for your next dose is near, skip the missed dose and return to your regular dosing routine. Do not take two doses at the same time.
