What is Valosine?

Valosine is a brand of venlafaxine sold in Thailand. Venlafaxine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used for depression and anxiety disorders. It is registered with the Thai FDA in 75 mg as sustained release capsule, and the Thai licence holder is บริษัท ยูเนียนเมดดิคอล (ประเทศไทย) จำกัด. Brand names differ between countries, so outside Thailand ask for venlafaxine by name.
