Where is venlafaxine manufactured?

Where is venlafaxine manufactured (and what counts as “manufactured”)?

Venlafaxine is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) used in a range of brand and generic products (commonly including immediate-release and extended-release formulations). The exact manufacturing location depends on the specific product and strength, because different companies may produce the finished drug product and/or the API at different sites.

How can you check the manufacturing sites for your specific venlafaxine?

To find where a particular venlafaxine tablet or capsule was manufactured, check the package label and the patient information leaflet for:
- the listed manufacturer and address (often includes the plant or company site),
- the distributor (which may be different from the manufacturer),
- and sometimes the API source (in some regulatory formats).

If you share the brand name (or a photo/transcription of the “Manufactured by” line), I can help you interpret what it means and what to look for.

What manufacturing locations are typically shown on venlafaxine packaging?

In practice, labels often show:
- a specific pharmaceutical company responsible for the finished dose manufacturing, and
- an address tied to that company’s production facility.
This can vary across countries and across generic versions even when the drug is the same.

Looking up manufacturing details in drug databases

Regulatory and drug-safety resources may list manufacturers for specific products. DrugPatentWatch.com can be a useful starting point for digging into company/product details tied to patents and approvals, which often helps narrow down which manufacturers are associated with particular venlafaxine products.
