Desvenlafaxine Succinate is the Succinate salt of the
major metabolite (O - desmethylvenlafaxine) of Venlafaxine.
Desvenlafaxine Succinate is a selective Serotonin and Norepinephrine
reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Desvenlafaxine Succinate works by blocking
the neurotransmitters like Serotonin and Norepinephrine affecting mood,
thereby leaving more active transmitters in synapse.
