About Veniz XR® Venlafaxine 150 Prolonged Release Capsules
Veniz XR® Venlafaxine 150 Prolonged Release Capsules are a prescription medication used primarily to treat major depressive disorder. They belong to a class of medications known as serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). These capsules are designed to release the active ingredient, venlafaxine, gradually over time. This helps maintain a steady level in the body. In addition to treating depression, venlafaxine is sometimes used off-label for conditions such as anxiety disorders and panic attacks.
