Why is Nefazodone Used?
Nefazodone (Serzone, Dutonin), is prescribed for the treatment of depression.
How Does Nefazodone Work?
Nefazodone (Serzone, Dutonin) is thought to work by inhibiting neuronal uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. It is thought that by increasing the available amount of these neurotransmitters, Nefazodone can help individuals suffering from depression. However, the medication's full mechanisms of action are not entirely understood.
