1. What Venlafaxine SUN is and what it is used for

Venlafaxine is an antidepressant that belongs to a group of medicines known as serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This group of medicines is used to treat depression and other conditions such as anxiety disorders. It is believed that people who are depressed and/or suffer from anxiety have lower levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain. The way antidepressants work is not fully understood, but they may help increase the levels of serotonin and noradrenaline in the brain.

Venlafaxine is a treatment for adults with depression. Venlafaxine 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). Properly treating depressive and anxiety disorders is important to help you feel better. If left untreated, your condition may not resolve or may worsen, becoming more difficult to treat.

2. What you need to know before taking Venlafaxine SUN

Do not take Venlafaxine Sun

  • 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 within the last 14 days, any medicine known as an irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used to treat depression or Parkinson’s disease. Taking an irreversible MAOI together with Venlafaxine Sun may cause serious or even potentially fatal adverse effects. In addition, you must wait at least 7 days after stopping Venlafaxine Sun before taking any MAOI (see also the section “Use of Venlafaxine Sun with other medicines” and the information in that section about “Serotonin Syndrome”).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Venlafaxine Sun

  • if you are using other medicines that, when taken together with Venlafaxine Sun, could increase the risk of developing serotonin syndrome (see section “Use of Venlafaxine Sun with other medicines”)
  • if you have eye problems, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye)
  • if you have a history of high blood pressure
  • if you have a history of heart problems
  • if you have been told that your heart rhythm is abnormal
  • if you have a history of seizures (fits)
  • if you have a history of low sodium levels in the blood (hyponatremia)
  • if you are prone to bruising or bleeding easily (history of bleeding disorders), 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 “Pregnancy”)
  • if you have a history of, or if someone in your family has had, mania (feeling overly excited or euphoric) or bipolar disorder
  • if you have a history of aggressive behavior

Venlafaxine Sun 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 to you.

Do not drink alcohol during treatment with Venlafaxine Sun, as it may cause extreme drowsiness and unconsciousness. Taking it together with certain medicines and/or alcohol may worsen 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 may increase when you first start taking antidepressants, because all these medicines take time to work, usually about two weeks, although sometimes longer. These thoughts may also occur when your dose is reduced or during discontinuation of treatment with Venlafaxine Sun.

You may be more likely to have such thoughts:

  • If you have previously had suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm.
  • If you are a young adult. Clinical trial data have shown an increased risk of suicidal behavior in young adults (under 25 years of age) with psychiatric conditions treated with antidepressants.

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

You may find it helpful to tell a close family member or friend that you are depressed or have an anxiety disorder, and ask them to read this leaflet. You may also ask them to inform you if they think your depression or anxiety is worsening, 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 (cavities). Therefore, you should take care with your oral hygiene.

Diabetes

Your blood glucose levels may be altered by Venlafaxine Sun. Therefore, the doses of your diabetes medications may need to be adjusted.

Sexual problems

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

Use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age

Venlafaxine Sun should not normally be used in the treatment of children and adolescents under 18 years of age. The long-term effects on growth, maturation, and behavioral development of venlafaxine in this age group have not been established. In addition, you should know that patients under 18 years of age have an increased risk of adverse effects such as suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, and 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 of age if they decide it is the most appropriate for the patient. If your doctor has prescribed this medicine to a patient under 18 years of age and you wish to discuss this decision, please speak to your doctor. You must inform your doctor if any of the symptoms listed above develop or worsen when these patients under 18 years of age are taking venlafaxine. Furthermore, the long-term effects on safety, growth, maturation, and cognitive and behavioral development of this medicine have not yet been established.

Use of Venlafaxine Sun with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines.

Your doctor must decide whether you can take Venlafaxine Sun with other medicines.

Do not start or stop taking any medicine, including those available without a prescription, natural remedies, or herbal products, before checking with your doctor or pharmacist.

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors used to treat depression or Parkinson’s disease must not be taken with Venlafaxine Sun. Tell your doctor if you have taken any of these medicines in the last 14 days. (MAOI: see section “What you need to know before taking Venlafaxine Sun”).

  • Serotonin syndrome: A potentially life-threatening condition, or reactions similar to Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) (see section “Possible Side Effects”), may occur with venlafaxine treatment, particularly when taken with other medicines. Examples of these medicines include:

  • triptans (used for migraine)

  • other medicines to treat depression, for example, SNRIs, SSRIs, 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, a reversible MAOI (used to treat depression)

  • medicines containing sibutramine (used for weight loss)

  • medicines containing tramadol, fentanyl, tapentadol, meperidine, or pentazocine (used to treat severe pain)

  • medicines containing dextromethorphan (used to treat cough)

  • products containing methadone (used for opioid addiction treatment or for treatment of severe pain)

  • medicines containing methylene blue (used to treat elevated methemoglobin levels in blood)

  • products containing St. John’s wort (also known as “Hypericum perforatum”, a natural 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 are not there, false beliefs, unusual suspicion, unclear thinking, and tendency to withdraw).

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 Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS). Signs and symptoms of NMS may include a combination of fever, rapid heartbeat, sweating, severe muscle rigidity, confusion, and increased muscle enzymes (determined by a blood test).

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

Tell 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 allergy).

The following medicines may also interact with Venlafaxine Sun and should be used with caution. It is especially important to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking medicines containing:

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

Taking Venlafaxine Sun with food, drinks, and alcohol

Venlafaxine SUN should be taken with food (see section 3 “How to take Venlafaxine Sun”).

Do not drink alcohol during treatment with Venlafaxine Sun. Taking it together with alcohol may cause extreme drowsiness and unconsciousness, and may worsen symptoms of depression and other conditions, such as anxiety disorders.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Pregnancy

Inform your doctor if you become pregnant or are trying to become pregnant. You should only use Venlafaxine Sun after discussing the possible benefits and possible risks to the unborn child with your doctor.

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

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

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

Breastfeeding

Venlafaxine passes into breast milk. There is a risk of effects on the baby. Therefore, you should discuss the situation with your doctor, who will decide whether you should stop breastfeeding or stop treatment with this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Do not drive or operate tools or machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.

Venlafaxine Sun contains lactose

This medicine contains lactose. If your doctor has informed you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medicine.

Venlafaxine Sun contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet; essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to take Venlafaxine SUN

Follow exactly the instructions for use of this medicine provided by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Dosage

The usual recommended starting dose for the treatment of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder is 75 mg per day. Your doctor may gradually increase the dose, and if necessary further, up to a maximum of 375 mg per day for depression. If you are being treated for panic disorder, your doctor will start with a lower dose (37.5 mg) and then gradually increase the dose. The maximum dose for generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder is 225 mg/day.

Method of administration

Take this medicine at approximately the same time each day, either in the morning or in the evening. The tablets must be swallowed whole with liquid and must not be crushed, chewed, or dissolved.

Venlafaxine should be taken with food.

If you have liver or kidney problems, speak with your doctor, as your dose of this medicine may need to be different.

Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor (see section “If you stop taking Venlafaxine SUN”).

Medical diagram with four steps: separate the

If you take more Venlafaxine than you should

Call your doctor or pharmacist immediately if you take more of this medicine than prescribed. Overdose can be life-threatening, especially when taken simultaneously with certain medicines and/or alcohol (see “Taking Venlafaxine SUN with other medicines”). You may also contact the toxicology information service at telephone 91 562 04 20, indicating the name of the medicine and the amount taken.

Symptoms of a possible overdose may include palpitations, changes in level of consciousness (ranging from drowsiness to coma), blurred vision, seizures or fits, and vomiting.

If you forget to take Venlafaxine

Do not take a double dose to make up for missed doses. If you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only your next dose as usual. Do not take more than the daily amount of venlafaxine prescribed for you in one day.

If you stop taking Venlafaxine

Do not stop taking your treatment or reduce the dose without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. If your doctor considers that you no longer need venlafaxine, they may ask you to gradually reduce the dose before stopping treatment completely. Adverse effects are known to occur when people stop taking venlafaxine suddenly or if the dose is reduced too quickly. Some patients may experience symptoms such as suicidal thoughts, aggression, fatigue, dizziness, lack of coordination, headache, insomnia, nightmares, dry mouth, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, nervousness, agitation, confusion, ringing in the ears, tingling sensations, or in rare cases electric shock-like sensations, weakness, sweating, seizures, or flu-like symptoms, visual disturbances, and increased blood pressure (which may cause headache, dizziness, ringing in the ears, sweating, etc.).

Your doctor will advise you on how to gradually discontinue treatment with venlafaxine. This process may take several weeks or months. In some patients, discontinuation may need to be very gradual over months or longer. If you experience any of these or other bothersome symptoms, consult your doctor for advice.

If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
