INDICATION

Vorbo 20mg Tab is a higher-strength formulation of vortioxetine indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults, particularly in patients requiring more robust symptom control or those who have shown partial response to lower doses. It is effective in managing core depressive symptoms such as persistent low mood, anhedonia, fatigue, impaired concentration, and sleep disturbances. In addition to mood improvement, vortioxetine has demonstrated benefits in enhancing cognitive function, including attention, executive function, and processing speed, which are often impaired in depression. This makes it particularly suitable for patients with cognitive dysfunction associated with depressive disorders.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Vortioxetine is a multimodal serotonergic antidepressant that works by inhibiting the serotonin transporter while also modulating various serotonin receptors. It acts as an agonist at 5-HT1A receptors and an antagonist at 5-HT3 and 5-HT7 receptors, among others. This combined mechanism enhances serotonergic neurotransmission and improves neural network efficiency in brain regions responsible for mood and cognition. Unlike conventional SSRIs, its receptor modulation contributes to improved cognitive outcomes and a lower incidence of certain side effects, making it a well-tolerated and effective antidepressant option.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

●     Initial and target dose: 10mg once daily, titrated up to 20mg once daily based on clinical response.

●     Current strength (20mg): Used as a maintenance or escalation dose in patients requiring enhanced therapeutic effect.

●     Dose adjustments may be required in elderly patients or those sensitive to adverse effects.

●     Avoid abrupt discontinuation; tapering may be necessary to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

SIDE EFFECTS

●     Common: Nausea, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, diarrhea

●     Less common: Insomnia, sexual dysfunction, constipation, fatigue, anxiety, abnormal dreams

NOT RECOMMENDED IN

Vorbo 20mg is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to vortioxetine. It must not be used in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) or within 14 days of discontinuation due to the risk of serotonin syndrome. Caution is required in patients with a history of bipolar disorder, seizures, or suicidal ideation. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should only be considered if the benefits outweigh the risks under strict medical supervision.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Vortioxetine may interact with other serotonergic agents such as SSRIs, SNRIs, tramadol, and triptans, increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome. Strong CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase plasma levels, while enzyme inducers may reduce efficacy. Alcohol should be used cautiously as it may enhance central nervous system effects.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Store below 30°C in a dry place away from heat, light, and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
