Vortioxetine in the routine management of major depressive disorder: an analysis of European automated healthcare databases

ObjectiveVortioxetine is a multimodal antidepressant approved for the treatment of major depressive episodes. As part of the overall European risk-management plan, we aimed to fill data gaps on relevant missing information such as the extent of vortioxetine use in special populations and assessment...
