Important information about Viibryd

How does Viibryd work?

The active ingredient in Viibyrd is vilazodone. It works differently from traditional antidepressants, to help treat the emotional and physical symptoms of depression in adults. It is considered both a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a serotonin (5HT1A) receptor partial agonist. By targeting the neurotransmitter that is involved in mood regulation in multiple ways, Viibryd offers a newer approach in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), relieving a variety of depressive symptoms in many patients.

How do you use Viibryd?

Follow all directions given by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full prescribing information, FDA-approved product labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Viibryd. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Viibryd:

Dosage Instructions:

  • Follow the prescribed dosage exactly as directed by your doctor.
  • Usually started at a lower dose and gradually increased.
  • Do not adjust your dose without consulting your doctor.

Administration:

  • Take Viibryd once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
  • Take with food to improve absorption and reduce the risk of side effects.
  • Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or split it.

Missed Dose:

  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember.
  • If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose.
  • Do not take extra doses to make up for a missed one.

Discontinuation:

  • Do not stop taking Viibryd suddenly without consulting your doctor. This may lead to unwanted side effects.
  • Gradual dose reduction may be necessary to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

Regular Check-Ups:

  • Attend all scheduled appointments with your healthcare provider to monitor your progress and any side effects.
  • By following these guidelines, you can use Viibryd effectively and safely. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

  • This is especially true in young adults and during the first few months of treatment or when your dose changes. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or worsening depression right away.
