    General Description

    Vortioxetine, sold under the trade names Trintellix and Brintellix, is an antidepressant medication that is used to treat depression. It increases serotoninconcentrations in the brain by inhibiting its reuptake in the synapse, and by modulating (activating certain receptors while blocking, or antagonizing, others) certain serotonin receptors. This puts it in the class of atypical antidepressants known as serotonin modulators and stimulators. It is made by the pharmaceutical companies Lundbeck and Takeda.
