Brief overview: Vortioxetine, a newer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), is shown to have antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects. However, there is no published literature demonstrating the effect of vortioxetine in animal models of aminoglycosides induced reno-toxicity. The current study aims to investigate the protective effect of vortioxetine in gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar rats.
