SSRIs are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. As the name suggests, these drugs are designed to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin from synaptic clefts and increase the concentration of the neurotransmitter. Through its mechanism of action, there is an increase in srotoninergic transmission, which in people affected by mental disorders may be disturbed due to too low serotonin concentration.
SNRIs are selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. They work analogously to SSRIs with the difference that they interact with two neurotransmitters.
SSRIs belong to a group of drugs that are more commonly recommended for use. SNRIs are usually second-line drugs when SSRIs cannot be used or treatment with SSRIs has not worked.
