Brintellix, Trintellix, and Fonksera are all the same medication (vortioxetine) manufactured by Lundbeck.
Brintellix is indicated for the treatment of major depressive episodes in adults.
Vortioxetine was previously trademarked as Brintellix in the United States, but on May 2, 2016, the US FDA approved a name change to Trintellix in order to avoid confusion with the blood-thinning medication ticagrelor (Brilinta). In Europe, Lundbeck has changed the name of Brintellix to Fonksera. Brand Vortioxetine can be called Brintellix, Trintellix, and Fonksera.
Nausea was usually mild or moderate and occurred within the first two weeks of treatment. The reactions were usually transient and did not generally lead to cessation of therapy. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions, such as nausea, occurred more frequently in women than men. Elderly patients For doses ≥10 mg vortioxetine once daily, the withdrawal rate from the studies was higher in patients aged ≥65 years. For doses of 20 mg vortioxetine once daily, the incidences of nausea and constipation were higher in patients aged ≥65 years (42% and 15%, respectively) than in patients aged <65 years (27% and 4%, respectively)(see section 4.4). Sexual dysfunction In clinical studies, sexual dysfunction was assessed using the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX). Doses of 5 to 15 mg showed no difference to placebo. However, the 20 mg dose of vortioxetine was associated with an increase in sexual dysfunction (TESD)(see section 5.1) . Class effect Epidemiological studies, mainly conducted in patients 50 years of age and older, show an increased risk of bone fractures in patients receiving a medicinal product from related pharmacological classes of antidepressants (SSRIs or TCAs). The mechanism behind this risk is unknown, and it is not known if this risk is also relevant for vortioxetine
