I don't understand. This is not a "salt". It is an antidepressant.
Please explain, as I am not certain you have checked for the medication I request information on.
I don't know how it could be available online as it is a prescription only medication.

Thank you.
I look forward to you answer as this is urgent.

Brief Answer:
yes, its vilazodone only & needs prescription

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Im sorry the reply confused you unnecessarily. In medical science we refer the particular drug as a salt. Like, viibryd has vilazodone salt in it. And of course im talking about vilazodone antidepressant only,please dont worry.

That drug is a scheduled drug and as I said it would definitely needs prescription to purchase it from anywhere.

I hope the reply is helpful.
Wish you good health.
