Facial flushing is a rare side effect in patients taking Brintellix.
Please also remember that this medicine is subject to a prescription and any changes in its dosage should be consulted with your doctor.
It is therefore not advisable for you to make the decision to change your dosage on your own.
I would advise you to consult the situation with a doctor, describe the symptoms you have experienced. Your doctor will then decide to change your dose or suggest that you switch to a different medicine.
If you are unable to contact your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
