Is Vortidif 5mg Tablet suitable for an 8-year-old with depression?
Asked by Female, 37 · 1 month ago
Vortidif 5 mg should not be given to an 8-year-old. Depression in children needs proper assessment, and only a child psychiatrist or paediatrician can decide the correct and safe treatment based on the child's age and symptoms.

Age Consideration: Vortidif 5mg (Vortioxetine) is not recommended for children under 18 due to insufficient safety and efficacy data.
Pediatric Depression Treatment: Typically involves psychotherapy and medications approved for children.
Consult a Specialist: Seek advice from a pediatric psychiatrist to determine the best treatment plan.
Monitoring: If medication is prescribed, ensure close monitoring for side effects and treatment response.
Please consult a healthcare professional before making any medication changes.
