Desvenlafaxine Succinate
Participants diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) or vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause aged 18 years and above who received desvenlafaxine succinate as per the approved local product document were observed for 8 weeks in this prospective study. For MDD, the recommended dose of desvenlafaxine succinate was 50 milligram (mg) once daily and for VMS associated with menopause, the recommended dose of desvenlafaxine succinate was 100 mg once daily. Dose was adjusted solely according to medical and therapeutic necessity.
