Dexven

Dexven is a branded generic antidepressant medication developed and marketed by Lyf Healthcare. Its active ingredient is desvenlafaxine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). The drug functions by blocking the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine through its interaction with the serotonin transporter (SERT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET), thereby increasing the synaptic concentrations of these neurotransmitters in the brain. Formulated as an oral tablet, Dexven is approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder (depression) and is available in strengths such as 50mg. Common side effects associated with its use include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, constipation, and potential increases in blood pressure.
