It has been determined that levomilnacipran undergoes desethylation and hydroxylation to generate desethyl levomilnacipran and p-hydroxy-levomilnacipran, respectively. Both oxidative metabolites undergo further conjugation with glucuronide to form the conjugate milnacipran carbamoyl-O-glucuronide. The desethylation is catalyzed primarily by CYP3A4 with minor contribution by CYP2C8, 2C19, 2D6, and 2J2. Additionally, it is the general understanding that there is no interconversion between the enantiomers of milnacipran in the body.
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation:Amounts of milnacipran in breastmilk are low and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. However, until more data become available, milnacipran should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants:Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk:Galactorrhea is reported by the manufacturer to be a side effect of milnacipran. One woman who was being treated for depression took an intentional overdose of 950 mg of milnacipran orally. From day 5 to day 15 after the overdose, the patient noted a flow of milk from her left breast. The galactorrhea resolved without treatment.
In a study of cases of hyperprolactinemia and its symptoms (e.g., gynecomastia) reported to a French pharmacovigilance center, milnacipran was not found to have an increased risk of causing hyperprolactinemia compared to other drugs.
An observational study looked at outcomes of 2859 women who took an antidepressant during the 2 years prior to pregnancy. Compared to women who did not take an antidepressant during pregnancy, mothers who took an antidepressant during all 3 trimesters of pregnancy were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding upon hospital discharge. Mothers who took an antidepressant only during the third trimester were 75% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge. Those who took an antidepressant only during the first and second trimesters did not have a reduced likelihood of breastfeeding at discharge. The antidepressants used by the mothers were not specified.
A retrospective cohort study of hospital electronic medical records from 2001 to 2008 compared women who had been dispensed an antidepressant during late gestation (n = 575) to those who had a psychiatric illness but did not receive an antidepressant (n = 1552) and mothers who did not have a psychiatric diagnosis (n = 30,535). Women who received an antidepressant were 37% less likely to be breastfeeding at discharge than women without a psychiatric diagnosis, but no less likely to be breastfeeding than untreated mothers with a psychiatric diagnosis. None of the mothers were taking milnacipran.
In a study of 80,882 Norwegian mother-infant pairs from 1999 to 2008, new postpartum antidepressant use was reported by 392 women and 201 reported that they continued antidepressants from pregnancy. Compared with the unexposed comparison group, late pregnancy antidepressant use was associated with a 7% reduced likelihood of breastfeeding initiation, but with no effect on breastfeeding duration or exclusivity. Compared with the unexposed comparison group, new or restarted antidepressant use was associated with a 63% reduced likelihood of predominant, and a 51% reduced likelihood of any breastfeeding at 6 months, as well as a 2.6-fold increased risk of abrupt breastfeeding discontinuation. Specific antidepressants were not mentioned.
The protein binding determined for racemic milnacipran is 13%. Conversely, the plasma protein binding documented for levomilnacipran is 22% over a concentration range of 10 to 1000 ng/mL.
Racemic milnacipram demonstrates an absolute bioavailability of about 85-90% following oral administration. Maximum concentrations of the racemic agent are reached within 2-4 hours after oral dosing, and steady-state levels are obtained by 36-48 hours. Conversely, the relative bioavailability of levomilnacipram has been documented as 92%. The median time to peak concentration Tmax for levomilnacipram is about 6-8 hours after oral administration. After daily dosing of levomilnacipram 120 mg, the mean Cmax value is 341 ng/mL, and the mean steady-state AUC value is 5196 ng.h/mL. In general, the administration of either racemic milnacipram or levomilnacipram with food does not affect the medication's oral bioavailability.
Levomilnacipran and its metabolites are eliminated primarily by renal excretion. Following oral administration of 14C-levomilnacipran solution, approximately 58% of the dose is excreted in urine as unchanged levomilnacipran. N-desethyl levomilnacipran is the major metabolite excreted in the urine and accounted for approximately 18% of the dose. Other identifiable metabolites excreted in the urine are levomilnacipran glucuronide (4%), desethyl levomilnacipran glucuronide (3%), p-hydroxy levomilnacipran glucuronide (1%), and p-hydroxy levomilnacipran (1%).
The mean volume of distribution recorded for racemic milnacipran following a single intravenous dose to healthy subjects was approximately 400 L. Alternatively, levomilnacipran is widely distributed with an apparent volume of distribution of 387-473 L.
