substance\u00a0venlafaxine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma is an antidepressant that belongs to a group of drugs called\u00a0serotonin\u00a0and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (\u00a0SNRIs\u00a0).\u00a0This group of drugs is used to treat depression and other conditions such as anxiety disorders.\u00a0It is not fully understood how antidepressants work, but they may help by increasing levels of\u00a0serotonin\u00a0and\u00a0norepinephrine\u00a0in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma is a treatment for adults with depression.\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma is also a treatment for adults with the following anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety,\u00a0social phobia\u00a0(fear of or avoidance of social situations), and panic disorder (panic attacks).\u00a0It is important to treat depression or anxiety disorders properly to help you feel better.\u00a0If the condition is not treated, it may not go away but become more serious and difficult to treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venlafaxine contained\u00a0in\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma may also be approved to treat other diseases not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or

cause serious or even life-threatening\u00a0side effects.\u00a0In addition, you must wait at least 7 days after you stop taking\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma before taking an\u00a0MAO

thoughts of harming yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You who are depressed and\/or suffer from worry\/anxiety may sometimes have thoughts of harming yourself or committing suicide.\u00a0These symptoms may worsen when you start using anti-depressant drugs, as it takes time for drugs of this type to take effect, usually about 2 weeks, sometimes longer.\u00a0These thoughts may also occur when the\u00a0dose\u00a0is reduced or when treatment with\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma is terminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These thoughts may be common:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have previously had thoughts of harming yourself or committing suicide,<\/li><li>if you are\u00a0<em>a young adult<\/em>.\u00a0Studies have shown that young adults (younger than 25 years) with mental

as\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma (so-called\u00a0SSRIs\u00a0\/SNRIs) can cause symptoms of sexual\u00a0dysfunction\u00a0(see section 4).\u00a0In some cases, these symptoms have persisted after discontinuation of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma should not normally be used for the treatment of children and adolescents under the age of 18.\u00a0The risk of\u00a0side effects\u00a0such as suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts, and hostility (mainly aggression, defiance, and anger) is greater in patients under the age of 18 when they take medicines of this type.\u00a0Despite this, this medicine can be prescribed by doctors to patients under 18 years of age, if the doctor considers this to be appropriate.\u00a0If you are under 18 and want to discuss why you have been given this medicine, you should contact your doctor again.\u00a0You should also inform your doctor if you notice any of the above symptoms or if they worsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-term effects of this drug on growth, maturation and\u00a0cognitive\u00a0and behavioral development have not yet been established for this age

condition called\u00a0persistent\u00a0pulmonary\u00a0hypertension\u00a0of the newborn (PPHN) may increase.\u00a0This condition causes the child to breathe faster and appear bluish.\u00a0The symptoms usually appear within 24 hours of the baby being born.\u00a0If this affects your child, contact the midwife or doctor immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other symptoms that your baby may have when it is born if you take this medicine during pregnancy are that the baby does not eat properly and has breathing difficulties.&nbsp;If your baby has these symptoms at birth and you are worried, contact the doctor and\/or midwife who can give you advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma at the end of pregnancy, there may be an increased risk of heavy vaginal bleeding shortly after delivery, especially if you have previously had bleeding disorders.\u00a0The doctor or midwife should be informed that you are taking\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma so that they can advise you about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma passes into breast milk.\u00a0There is a risk that the child will be affected.\u00a0You should therefore talk to your doctor who will decide whether you

phobia\u00a0is 75 mg per day.\u00a0The dose\u00a0can be increased gradually by the doctor and if necessary up to a maximum of 375 mg per day for depression.\u00a0If you are being treated for panic disorder, the doctor will start with a lower\u00a0dose\u00a0(37.5 mg) and then increase the\u00a0dose\u00a0step by step.\u00a0The highest\u00a0dose\u00a0for generalized anxiety disorder,\u00a0social phobia,\u00a0and panic disorder is 225 mg daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma at about the same time each day, either in the morning or in the evening.\u00a0The tablets must be

have taken too much of this medicine or if e.g.\u00a0a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, contact a doctor or hospital for an assessment of the risk and advice.\u00a0Symptoms of a possible overdose can be a rapid heartbeat, changes in the level of alertness (from drowsiness to\u00a0coma\u00a0), blurred vision, convulsions, and vomiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to take Venlafaxine 1A Farma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you miss a\u00a0dose, take it as soon as you remember.\u00a0However, if it is time for your next\u00a0dose, skip the missed\u00a0dose\u00a0and just take one\u00a0dose\u00a0as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take a double\u00a0dose\u00a0to make up for a missed\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take more than the amount of\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A

the\u00a0dose\u00a0without first consulting the doctor, even if you feel better.\u00a0If the doctor considers that you no longer need\u00a0Venlafaxin\u00a01A Farma, he\/she may ask you to reduce the\u00a0dose\u00a0slowly before stopping the treatment completely.\u00a0It is known that you can get\u00a0side effects\u00a0when you stop taking this medicine, especially if you stop suddenly or if the\u00a0dose\u00a0is reduced too quickly.\u00a0Some patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, intoxication, headache, insomnia, nightmares,\u00a0dry mouth, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, nervousness, restlessness, confusion, ringing in the ears, goosebumps or, rarely, a feeling of electric shock, weakness, sweating, seizures or\u00a0flu-like symptoms, vision problems and increased\u00a0blood pressure\u00a0(which can cause headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, sweating, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor will tell you how to gradually end treatment with\u00a0Venlafaxine\u00a01A Farma.\u00a0This may take a few weeks or months.\u00a0In some patients, it may need to be done gradually over several months or longer.\u00a0If you experience any of
