Vortioxetine and Cognitive impairments

2021-05-21 05:34:26
Multimodal antidepressant Vortioxetine (sold under brand name 'Brintellix' in India) is known to improve Cognitive impairments caused due to Major depressive disorder (MDD). This was stated in two research papers. I wish to know if similar effect was observed in local patients, when they were  prescribed Vortioxetine.

The effects of vortioxetine on functional capacity is robust across different level of functional impairment in patients with MDD. Only set back in use of vortioxetine is its price.
