REBOXETINE/EDRONAX'S PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION SELECTIVELY INHIBITS THE REUPTAKE OF NOREPINEPHRINE THEREBY INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS AVAILABLE FOR IMPULSE TRANSMISSION
TRAZADONE/DESYREL'S PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION HAS MODERATE SELECTIVE BLOCKADE OF SEROTONIN RECEPTORS WHICH ALLOWS MORE SEROTONIN TO BE AVAILABLE FOR IMPULSE TRANSMISSION
