Description
Curator's Comment: https://www.tga.gov.au/sites/default/files/auspar-milnacipran-hydrochloride-120124.pdf

Dextromilnacipran (1R, 2S/F2696) is an enantiomer of milnacipran, a serotonin/norepinephrine (5-HT/NE) reuptake inhibitor. Dextromilnacipran is pharmacologically less active as compared with racemic mixture and levomilnacipran (1S, 2R/F2695).

Originator

Curator's Comment: Milnacipran was synthesised as a racemic mixture at the PIERRE FABRE MEDICAMENT Research Centre (Castres, France).

Sample Use Guides

The recommended dose of Savella (Milnacipran) is 100 mg/day (50 mg twice daily). Based on efficacy and tolerability dosing may be titrated according to the following schedule: Day 1: 12.5 mg once Days 2-3: 25 mg/day (12.5 mg twice daily) Days 4-7: 50 mg/day (25 mg twice daily) After Day 7: 100 mg/day (50 mg twice daily) Based on individual patient response, the dose may be increased to 200 mg/day (100 mg twice daily). Doses above 200 mg/day have not been studied.
