It is a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor antidepressant. Oral administration once a day.
Excreted into breast milk in clinically non-significant amount (Collin 2018, Andrade 2014, Rowe 2013, Boyce 2011, Berle 2011, Briggs 2009, EMA 2009, Lanza 2009, Lobo 2008) with no side-effects being observed in breastfed infants from treated mothers (Briggs 2009).
Plasma level in those infants was very low or undetectable (Boyce 2011, Briggs 2009).
Galactorrhea has been observed with or without an increase in prolactin (Derle 2021, Özkan 2020, Luo 2019, McGrane 2019, Demirci 2015, Belli 2013, Korkmaz 2011), but less frequently than with other antidepressants. (Trenque 2011)
