Depression is a chronic mental disorder characterized by a high incidence rate, a high relapse rate, a high suicide rate, and a high disability rate. It can affect individuals at nearly any age. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global number of new depression cases has exceeded 70 million. According to data from the World Health Organization, the global number of people living with depression has now reached 350 million. According to statistics from the "2022 National Blue Book on Depression," the number of people suffering from depression in China is approximately 95 million, and the age of onset is trending younger, with individuals under the age of 18 accounting for 30% of the total depressed population.
Venlafaxine succinate is a third-generation antidepressant that exerts a dual antidepressant effect by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, thereby increasing their concentrations. It is a widely used antidepressant worldwide.
The approval and launch of Yichang Renfu Pharmaceutical’s extended-release venlafaxine succinate tablets further enrich the company’s product lineup in the psychoneurological field. The company will subsequently actively promote the launch and sales of this product, providing patients with depression a wider range of treatment options.
