Brief Summary  

Vilazodone is an attractive treatment option for the relief of Major Depressive Disorder. Major Depressive Disorder is a condition characterized by one or more Major Depressive Episodes without a history of Manic, Mixed, or Hypomanic Episodes. These Major Depressive Episodes are not due to a medical condition, medication, abused substance, or Psychosis. If Manic, Mixed, or Hypomanic Episodes develop, the diagnosis is changed to Bipolar Disorder. 

Vilazodone represents another option for the treatment of MDD. Vilazodone appears to have a favourable weight-gain profile based on short-term studies. Existing treatments often are not satisfactory. Antidepressants frequently subject their users to bizarre sexual side effects such as loss of libido, “genital anesthesia” and “pleasureless orgasm.” CDI reported a phase III trial result showing the drug was effective for depression and was the same as a placebo for sexual side effects. Importantly, though, is the fact that some people develop adverse effects at the doses required to achieve adequate pain control. Though many drugs have been tried for the management of MDD, no drug has been proved significantly effective and a search for better drug continues. So, the aim of this study is to evaluate Safety, Efficacy and Tolerability of Vilazodone Hydrochloride 40 mg Tablet in the management of MDD.
