In moderate hepatic insufficiency (prothrombin time of 14 to 18 seconds), the dose should be reduced by 50%. Not recommended for venlafaxine in severe hepatic insufficiency, since reliable data on the safety of this therapy are not available.

Application for violations of poche functions:

In renal insufficiency mild (creatinine clearance (CC) more than 30 ml / min) correction mode is not required. In renal failure of moderate severity (CC 10-30 ml / min), the dose should be reduced by 25-50%. In connection with the extension of T 1/2 of venlafaxine and its active metabolite (EFA) in such patients should take the entire dose of 1 times / day. Not recommended for venlafaxine with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance less than 10 ml / min), since reliable data on the safety of this therapy are not available.
