In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know Auvelity treats major depression or agitation linked to Alzheimer’s disease in adults.
   • I know it is taken on a schedule; it is not an “as needed” drug for Alzheimer’s-related agitation.
   • I tell my care team if I have seizures, an eating disorder, bipolar disorder, or severe liver disease.
   • I check cough/cold and other medicines for dextromethorphan or bupropion so I do not double my dose.
