Viloxazine: a review of the literature.

In animal pharmacological studies viloxazine has shown similarities to imipramine. The antidepressant effects of the substance were independently recognized in seven uncontrolled clinical trials and verified in 11 published standard controlled clinical studies in which viloxazine in the dosage range from 150- to 300-mg dosage was equal in overall therapeutic efficacy to imipramine and amitriptyline, but produced a lower incidence of side effects.
