Zyven-OD ER 50 mg Tablets contain Desvenlafaxine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. The extended-release (ER) formulation ensures a steady release of the medication over time, providing consistent symptom control with once-daily dosing. It helps improve mood, sleep, appetite, and energy levels by balancing neurotransmitters in the brain.
