Safely Buy Viibryd ( Vilazodone Hcl ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Viibryd (vilazodone) is a serotonin modulator and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) indicated for the treatment of the major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults.

Vilazodone works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and augmenting its receptor activation, leading to increased serotonin activity in the brain.

Use and Dosage

Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking vilazodone and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
