Actions and Spectrum
Although the precise mechanism of action of viloxazine is unknown, it is thought to function by altering the levels of several neurotransmitters in the brain, including norepinephrine and dopamine. It possesses some mild dopamine reuptake inhibitor (DRI) activity in addition to acting as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI).
viloxazine enhances the availability of these neurotransmitters in the brain by preventing their reuptake, which can help regulate mood and lessen the symptoms of ADHD and depression. Research on and usage of viloxazine have mostly focused on its antidepressant properties, particularly in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD).
