What are Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs)?
Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs) are a class of medications primarily used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. They function by increasing the levels of two important neurotransmitters, serotonin and norepinephrine, in the brain. This dual-action mechanism can be beneficial for patients who do not respond adequately to other types of antidepressants, like Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs).
