What is Trintellix (Vortioxetine)?
Trintellix is a prescription antidepressant used to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults. The active ingredient, vortioxetine, works through multiple mechanisms. It increases serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and emotional well-being. Trintellix belongs to a class called serotonin modulators and stimulators. This unique approach differentiates it from traditional SSRIs.
