How it works — get your Trintellix prescription in 4 steps

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard, recognized across the EU.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication. Your prescription is valid at any pharmacy in Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, or any other EU country under cross-border prescription directive 2011/24/EU.

Who qualifies for Trintellix

Trintellix (vortioxetine) is primarily prescribed for adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for a clear diagnosis of MDD and considers your medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions. Trintellix may not be suitable if you have certain heart conditions, a history of seizures, or are taking specific other medications that could interact negatively. The doctor's assessment ensures your safety and the appropriateness of the treatment.

What Trintellix actually does (and doesn't do)

Trintellix works by targeting several serotonin receptors in the brain, as well as inhibiting serotonin reuptake. This unique mechanism helps to rebalance neurotransmitter activity, which can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and potentially enhance cognitive functions like memory and concentration often affected by depression. It's not a quick fix; noticeable improvements typically develop over several weeks of consistent use. Trintellix aims to manage and alleviate symptoms of depression but does not cure the underlying condition.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Trintellix can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, constipation, vomiting, dry mouth, and dizziness. These are often mild and may decrease as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious, though rare, side effects can include serotonin syndrome (symptoms like agitation, hallucinations, rapid heart rate), increased risk of bleeding, or triggering hypomania/mania. If you experience severe or concerning side effects, or if your depression worsens, contact a medical professional immediately. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and when to stop treatment.
