Desvenlafaxine is a dual serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in vitro and in vivo that demonstrates good brain-to-plasma ratios. Desvenlafaxine has demonstrated antidepressant effects in preclinical studies. Pfizer is developing an oral, extended-release formulation of desvenlafaxine for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Desvenlafaxine has been registered and is available on the market for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults.

Comment: "coadministration with desipramine showed desipramine increased Cmax 25% and AUC 17% and ""clinical significance of changes in desipramine Cmax is not clear""; desvenlaxafine is not an inhibitor of the CYP P450 isozymes except a possible inhibiton of CYP1A2"
