1. What is Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen and what is it used for

Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen is an antidepressant that belongs to a group of medications called serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This group of medications is used to treat depression and other conditions such as anxiety disorders. The exact mechanism of how antidepressants work is not fully understood, but they may help increase levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain.

Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen is a treatment for adults with depression. It is also a treatment for adults with the following anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder (fear or avoidance of social situations) and panic disorder (panic attacks). Treating depressive and anxiety disorders properly is important to help you feel better. If left untreated, your condition may not go away or may worsen and become harder to treat.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Venlafaxine Retard Stadagen

Do not take Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen

  • If you are allergic to venlafaxine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you are also taking or have taken in the last 14 days, any medicine known as an irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (IMAO), used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease. Taking an IMAO irreversible with venlafaxine may produce severe or potentially fatal side effects. Also, you should wait at least 7 days after stopping venlafaxine before taking any IMAO (see also the sections “Other medicines and Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen” and the information in that section on “Serotonin syndrome”).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacistbeforetaking venlafaxine if you:

  • are taking other medicines that, taken with venlafaxine, may increase the risk of developing serotonin syndrome (see the section “Other medicines and Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen”)
  • have eye problems, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye).
  • have a history of high blood pressure.
  • have a history of heart problems.
  • have been informed that your heart rhythm is altered.
  • have a history of seizures (convulsions).
  • have a history of low sodium levels in the blood (hyponatremia).
  • have a history of bleeding disorders (tendency to develop ecchymoses or tendency to bleed easily) or if you are taking other medicines that may increase the risk of bleeding, e.g. warfarin (used to prevent blood clots) or if you are pregnant (see section “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility”).
  • have a history of, or if someone in your family has had, mania or bipolar disorder (feeling overexcited or euphoric).
  • If you have a history of aggressive behavior.

Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen may cause a feeling of restlessness or difficulty sitting or staying still during the first weeks of treatment. You should consult your doctor if this happens.

Do not drink alcohol during treatment with venlafaxine, as it may cause extreme fatigue and unconsciousness. Taking it with certain medicines and/or alcohol may worsen the symptoms of depression and other conditions, such as anxiety disorders.

Suicidal thoughts and worsening of your depression or anxiety disorder

If you are depressed and/or have anxiety disorders, you may sometimes have thoughts of harming yourself or committing suicide. These thoughts may increase when you start taking antidepressants, as all these medicines take time to work, usually two weeks, although sometimes more. These thoughts may also occur when your dose is reduced or during the interruption of treatment with venlafaxina.

This is more likely to happen:

  • if you have had previous thoughts of suicide or self-harm.
  • if you are a young adult. Clinical trial information has shown an increased risk of suicidal behavior in young adults (less than 25 years old) with psychiatric disorders treated with antidepressants.

If you have thoughts of harming yourself or committing suicide at any time, contact your doctor or go to the hospital directly.

You may find it helpful to tell a close relative or friend that you are depressed or have an anxiety disorder, and ask them to read this leaflet. You can also ask them to tell you if they think your depression or anxiety is getting worse, or if they are concerned about changes in your behavior.

Dry mouth

Dry mouth has been reported in 10% of patients treated with venlafaxine. This may increase the risk of tooth decay (caries). Therefore, you should take good care of your dental hygiene.

Diabetes

Your blood glucose levels may be affected by venlafaxine. Therefore, your doses of diabetes medicines may need to be adjusted.

Sexual problems

Some medicines in the group to which venlafaxine belongs (called SSRIs) may cause sexual symptoms (see section 4). In some cases, these symptoms persist after stopping treatment.

Children and adolescents

Venlafaxina should not be used normally in the treatment ofchildren and adolescents under 18 years. Also, you should know that in patients under 18 yearsthere is agreater risk of side effects such as suicidal thoughts,suicidal ideationand hostility (predominantly aggression, confrontational behavior and irritability) when taking this type of medicine. Despite this, your doctor may prescribe this medicine to patients under 18 years when they decide it is the best option for the patient. Ifyour doctorhas prescribed this medicine to a patient under 18 years and wants to discuss this decision,please returnto your doctor. You should inform your doctor if any of the symptoms listed above develop or worsen in these patients under 18 years taking venlafaxina.

Also, the long-term safety in relation to growth, maturation and cognitive and behavioral development has not been demonstrated.

Other medicines and Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently or may need to take any other medicine.

Your doctor should decide if you can take venlafaxine with other medicines.

Do not start or stop taking any medicine, including those available over the counter, natural remedies and herbal remedies, without checking with your doctor or pharmacist.

  • Inhibitors of monoamine oxidase used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease,should not be taken with venlafaxine. Tell your doctor if you have taken any of these medicines in the last 14 days. (IMAO: see section “What you need to know before starting to take Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen”)
  • Serotonin syndrome:

A potentially fatal state, or reactions similar to Malignant Neuroleptic Syndrome (MNS) (see section “Possible side effects”) may occur with treatment with venlafaxine, particularly when taken with other medicines.

Examples of these medicines include:

  • triptans (used for migraines)
  • other medicines to treat depression, for example, SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants or medicines containing lithium
    • medicines containing amphetamines (used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy and obesity)
  • medicines containing the antibiotic linezolid (used to treat infections)
  • medicines containing moclobemide, an IMAO (used to treat depression)
  • medicines containing sibutramine (used for weight loss)
  • medicines containing opioids (e.g. buprenorphine, tramadol, fentanyl, tapentadol, pethidine, or pentazocine) used to treat severe pain
  • medicines containing dextromethorphan (used to treat cough)
  • medicines containing methadone (used to treat opioid addiction or to treat severe pain)
  • medicines containing methylene blue (used to treat high levels of methaemoglobin in the blood)
  • products containing St. John's Wort (also known as “Hypericum perforatum”, a natural remedy or herbal remedy used to treat mild depression)
  • products containing tryptophan (used for problems such as sleep and depression).
  • antipsychotics (used to treat a condition with symptoms such as hearing, seeing or feeling things that do not exist, false beliefs, unusual suspicion, unclear thinking and tendency to withdraw)

The signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome may include a combination of the following: restlessness, hallucinations, loss of coordination, rapid heartbeat, increased body temperature, rapid changes in blood pressure, hyperactive reflexes, diarrhea, coma, nausea, vomiting.

In its most severe form, serotonin syndrome may resemble Malignant Neuroleptic Syndrome (MNS). The signs and symptoms of MNS may include a combination of fever, rapid heartbeat, sweating, severe muscle stiffness, confusion, increased muscle enzymes (determined by a blood test).

Inform your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital emergency department if you think you are experiencing serotonin syndrome.

Inform your doctor if you are taking medicines that may affect your heart rhythm.

Some examples of these medicines include:

  • antiarrhythmics such as quinidine, amiodarone, sotalol or dofetilide (used to treat abnormal heart rhythm)
  • antipsychotics such as thioridazine (see also “Serotonin syndrome” above)
  • antibiotics such as erythromycin or moxifloxacin (used to treat bacterial infections)
  • antihistamines (used to treat allergies)

The following medicines may also interact with venlafaxine and should be used with caution. It is especially important to mention to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking medicines that contain:

  • ketoconazole (an antifungal medicine)
  • haloperidol or risperidone (to treat psychiatric conditions)
  • metoprolol (a beta-blocker to treat high blood pressure and heart problems)

Taking Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen with food, drinks and alcohol

Venlafaxina should be taken with food (see section 3 “How to take Venlafaxina Retard Stadagen”).

Do not drink alcohol during treatment with venlafaxine. Taking it with alcohol may cause extreme fatigue and unconsciousness, and worsen the symptoms of depression and other conditions, such as anxiety disorders.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine. You should only take venlafaxine after discussing the possible benefits and risks for the unborn baby with your doctor.

Make sure your midwife and/or doctor knows that you are taking venlafaxine. When taken during pregnancy, similar medicines (SSRIs) may increase the risk of a serious condition in the newborn, called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), making the baby breathe faster and turn blue. These symptoms usually start within the first 24 hours after the baby's birth. If this happens to your baby, contact your midwife and/or doctor immediately.

If you take venlafaxine in the final stages of pregnancy, there may be a greater risk of heavy vaginal bleeding shortly after delivery, especially if you have a history of bleeding disorders. Your doctor or midwife should know that you are taking venlafaxine so they can advise you.

If you are taking this medicine during pregnancy, other symptoms your baby may have when born are feeding problems and breathing difficulties. If your baby has these symptoms when born and you are concerned, contact your doctor and/or midwife who can advise you.

Breastfeeding

Venlafaxine passes into breast milk. There is a risk of an effect on the baby. Therefore, you should discuss the case with your doctor and they will decide if you should stop breastfeeding or stop taking this medicine.
