How Tesofensine works
Tesofensine is a Serotonin-norepinephrine-dopamine-reuptake-inhibitor (SNDRI). SNDRIs are a class of psychoactive antidepressants. They act upon neurotransmitters in the brain, namely, serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. These three biogenic monoamines are associated with depression and increasing the availability in the brain is one method used to treat the condition.
