- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB08918
- Background
Levomilnacipran is a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), although it is a more potent inhibitor of norepinephrine reuptake than serotonin reuptake.2,3 Levomilnacipran is the more active 1S,2R-enantiomer in the racemate milnacipran.2,6 Once administered, interconversion between levomilnacipran and its stereoisomer does not occur in humans.4 First approved by the FDA on July 25, 2013, levomilnacipran is used to treat major depressive disorder in adults.6 While levomilnacipran was previously investigated and proposed as a potential treatment for stroke in Europe, the EMA decided against this use.7

Levomilnacipran is an antidepressant that binds with high affinity to human serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) transporters (Ki = 11 and 91 nM, respectively). It potently inhibits 5-HT and NE reuptake (IC50 = 16 - 19 and 11 nM, respectively).4 Levomilnacipran does not bind to any other receptors, ion channels, or transporters, including serotonergic (5HT1-7), α- and β adrenergic, muscarinic, or histaminergic receptors and Ca2+, Na+, K+ or Cl- channels to a significant degree.1,3,4 Levomilnacipran did not inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO). Furthermore, levomilnacipran does not prolong the QTc interval to a clinically relevant extent.4
- Mechanism of action
Levomilnacipran is a potent and selective selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). The exact mechanism of the antidepressant action of levomilnacipran is unknown but is thought to be related to the potentiation of serotonin and norepinephrine in the central nervous system through inhibition of reuptake at serotonin and norepinephrine transporters.4 Like milnacipran, levomilnacipran is a more potent inhibitor of the norepinephrine transporter than the serotonin transporter:3 it exhibits over a 15-fold higher selectivity for norepinephrine versus serotonin reuptake inhibition.1
Target Actions Organism ASodium-dependent serotonin transporter inhibitorHumans ASodium-dependent noradrenaline transporter inhibitorHumans - Absorption
The steady-state concentration of levomilnacipran was dose-proportional when administered at a dose ranging from 25 mg to 300 mg (2.5 times the maximum recommended dosage of levomilnacipran) once daily. After daily dosing of 120 mg levomilnacipran, the mean Cmax value was 341 ng/mL, and the mean steady-state AUC value was 5196 ng x h/mL.4
The relative bioavailability of oral levomilnacipran extended-release capsules was 92% when compared to oral solution. The median time to peak concentration (Tmax) of levomilnacipran ranges from six to eight hours after oral administration. Levomilnacipran concentration was not significantly affected when it was administered with food.4
- Volume of distribution
Levomilnacipran is widely distributed, with an apparent volume of distribution ranging from 387 to 473 L.4
- Protein binding
Levomilnacipran is 22% bound to plasma proteins over the concentration range of 10 to 1000 ng/mL.4
- Metabolism
Levomilnacipran undergoes desethylation to form desethyl levomilnacipran (or N-desethyl levomilnacipran) and hydroxylation to form p-hydroxy-levomilnacipran, which are pharmacologically inactive. Both oxidative metabolites can undergo further glucuronidation. Desethylation is primarily catalyzed by CYP3A4 with minor contributions by CYP2C8, 2C19, 2D6, and 2J2.3,4

- Route of elimination
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 was the major metabolite excreted in the urine, accounting for approximately 18% of the dose. Other identifiable metabolites excreted in the urine were levomilnacipran glucuronide (4%), desethyl levomilnacipran glucuronide (3%), p-hydroxy levomilnacipran glucuronide (1%), and p-hydroxy levomilnacipran (1%).4
- Half-life
The apparent terminal elimination half-life of extended-release levomilnacipran is approximately 12 hours.4
- Clearance
Following oral administration, the mean apparent total clearance of levomilnacipran is 21-29 L/h.4

The oral LD50 in rats was 238 mg/kg.5
There is limited clinical experience with levomilnacipran overdose in humans. In clinical studies, cases of ingestions up to 360 mg daily were reported with none being fatal. As there is no known specific antidote, levomilnacipran overdose should be managed with supportive measures, including close medical supervision and monitoring, with the consideration of possible multiple drug involvement. The high volume of distribution of levomilnacipran suggests that dialysis will not be effective in reducing levomilnacipran plasma concentrations.4

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbacavir Abacavir may decrease the excretion rate of Levomilnacipran which could result in a higher serum level. Abametapir The serum concentration of Levomilnacipran can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir. Abciximab The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Abciximab is combined with Levomilnacipran. Acarbose The risk or severity of hypoglycemia can be increased when Levomilnacipran is combined with Acarbose. Aceclofenac Levomilnacipran may increase the antiplatelet activities of Aceclofenac. Acemetacin Acemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Levomilnacipran which could result in a higher serum level. Acenocoumarol The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Acenocoumarol is combined with Levomilnacipran. Acetaminophen The metabolism of Levomilnacipran can be increased when combined with Acetaminophen. Acetazolamide Acetazolamide may increase the excretion rate of Levomilnacipran which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Acetohexamide The risk or severity of hypoglycemia can be increased when Levomilnacipran is combined with Acetohexamide.

- Avoid alcohol. Ingesting alcohol may compromise the extended-release dosage form of levomilnacipran, causing an accelerated release of the drug and increasing its serum concentration.
- Avoid herbs and supplements with anticoagulant/antiplatelet activity. Taking herbs with antiplatelet or anticoagulant activity may increase the risk of bleeding.
- Exercise caution with grapefruit products. Grapefruit is a moderate to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Do not exceed a maximum levomilnacipran dose of 80mg daily when taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
- Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. Administering levomilnacipran with St. John's Wort may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
- Take with or without food. Food does not affect drug absorption and exposure to a clinically significant extent.
