Background and Aims:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of venlafaxine HCL sustained release capsules in treatment of depression in adolescents.

Methods:

A randomized，double blind and double dummy clinical trial enrolled 60 adolescents patients with depression, who were randomized 1:1 to administer venlafaxine HCL sustained release capsules 150 mg or fluoxetine 20 mg daily for 8 weeks．The efficacy of both treatment groups was evaluated based on the Hamilton Depression Scale and Clinical General Impression Scale pre- and post-treatment.

Results:

The scores of Hamilton Depression Scale at the end of therapy were significantly reduced compared with the baseline in both groups(P<0.01).The efficacy rate of venlafaxine HCL sustained release capsules versus fluoxetine treatment was 70.0％ and 65.5％, respectively;the P value showed no statistical difference(P>0.05).The common adverse reactions included dry mouth，insomnia，dizziness，and loss of appetite.

Conclusion:

Venlafaxine HCL sustained release capsules is efective and safe agent for adolescents with major depression.
