LET'S TALK ABOUT ITYour questions
Your questions
are welcome.
Start here, then bring your questions
to your healthcare provider.
What is Sehippy?+
Sehippy is a vortioxetine orally disintegrating tablet (ODT). Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for the current U.S. prescribing information and Medication Guide.
What does ODT mean?+
ODT stands for orally disintegrating tablet, a tablet format designed to break apart in the mouth. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist about the administration instructions for your prescribed medicine.
Does an ODT work faster or have fewer side effects?+
A tablet breaking apart in the mouth does not, by itself, mean it treats depression faster or causes fewer side effects. Ask your healthcare provider about the evidence and risks for a specific medicine.
Can I switch from another antidepressant?+
Talk to your prescriber before changing treatment. Do not stop, switch, or change the dose of an antidepressant on your own.
Can I mix Sehippy with food or drinks?+
For product-specific administration instructions, speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Follow the final U.S. labeling and your pharmacist's directions. Do not alter or mix a medicine without checking first.
Where can I find prescribing information and access details?+
Contact Seasons Biotechnology for product information and availability questions. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for the current U.S. prescribing information and Medication Guide. This website does not provide prescriptions or sell medication.

General antidepressant safety
Antidepressants can have side effects. Some children, teenagers, and young adults under 25 may experience increased suicidal thoughts or behavior, especially early in treatment or after a dose change. People of all ages taking antidepressants should be monitored closely.
Tell your healthcare provider about new or worsening symptoms and all medicines and supplements you take. Talk with your prescriber before starting or stopping medication. If there is immediate danger, seek emergency help.
