What does Brintellix 20mg Tablet treat?

Vortioxetine is prescribed mainly for major depressive disorder in adults. Doctors use it to ease persistent low mood, loss of interest, and feelings of worthlessness. Reported benefits include calmer mood, less irritability, and sharper concentration.

It is intended for adults under medical supervision, including those who did not respond to an earlier antidepressant. A doctor decides whether it fits your history.

How does vortioxetine work?

Vortioxetine adjusts serotonin activity and related signalling in the brain. By keeping more of these mood-regulating chemicals available between nerve cells, it supports steadier mood over time. The effect builds gradually, so several weeks of regular use are usually needed before the full benefit shows.

What is the usual dose?

Dosing is always set by the prescribing doctor, not adjusted on your own. A common approach starts lower and steps up to 20mg once daily, taken at the same time each day with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole, and keep taking it even once you feel better, unless advised otherwise.

If a dose is missed, take it when you remember unless the next one is near, and never double up.

What side effects can it cause?

Like all antidepressants, vortioxetine may cause side effects, often mild, that settle with time. Commonly reported ones include:

• Nausea or reduced appetite
• Constipation
• Trouble sleeping or unusual dreams
• Dizziness or fatigue

Tell your doctor promptly about worsening mood, agitation, or unusual thoughts, especially in the early weeks or after a dose change. Do not stop suddenly, as it should be tapered under medical guidance.

Who should avoid it?

This medicine does not suit everyone. Avoid it if you are allergic to vortioxetine, or have used an MAOI antidepressant or methylene blue within the past 14 days. Share your history, other medicines, and any pregnancy or breastfeeding plans with your doctor first, as per DRAP guidance.
