Příznivý vliv antidepresiva vortioxetinu na sexuální dysfunkce
Positive influence of the vortioxetine in patients with sexual dysfunction
A short case history of 65 years man, psychiatric patient. Within a depressive stage was antidepressive agent paroxetine changed for vortioxetine. The medication with paroxetine was able to improve the depressive mood, but the effect was connected with some sexual dysfunctions. Under the multimodal antidepressant vortioxetine there have been observed substantial improvement of a sexual drive and reduction of feeling of sexual insufficiency. The short case history is of course not any universally recipe for a therapy of sexual dysfunctions in depressive patients. We try to demonstrate a possible positive influence the vortioxetine on the sexuality in some depressive patients.
