Hello,

As per the clinical data, Venlafaxine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, used mainly in the management of depression and other mood disorders.

It is not the sole purpose of the drug to be used in certain conditions, but as per my experience, it will surely help you to get ease with menopausal symptoms for sure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
