  • Concomitant Drugs Associated with Increased Mortality for MDMA Users Reported in a Drug Safety Surveillance Database Isaac V
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Concomitant drugs associated with increased mortality for MDMA users reported in a drug safety surveillance database Isaac V. Cohen1, Tigran Makunts2,3, Ruben Abagyan2* & Kelan Thomas4 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is currently being evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If MDMA is FDA-approved it will be important to understand what medications may pose a risk of drug– drug interactions. The goal of this study was to evaluate the risks due to MDMA ingestion alone or in combination with other common medications and drugs of abuse using the FDA drug safety surveillance data. To date, nearly one thousand reports of MDMA use have been reported to the FDA. The majority of these reports include covariates such as co-ingested substances and demographic parameters. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was employed to uncover the contributing factors to the reported risk of death among MDMA users. Several drug classes (MDMA metabolites or analogs, anesthetics, muscle relaxants, amphetamines and stimulants, benzodiazepines, ethanol, opioids), four antidepressants (bupropion, sertraline, venlafaxine and citalopram) and olanzapine demonstrated increased odds ratios for the reported risk of death. Future drug–drug interaction clinical trials should evaluate if any of the other drug–drug interactions described in our results actually pose a risk of morbidity or mortality in controlled medical settings. 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is currently being evaluated by the Food and Drug Adminis- tration (FDA) for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During the past two decades, “ecstasy” was illegally distributed and is purported to contain MDMA, but because the market is unregulated this “ecstasy” may actually contain adulterants or no MDMA at all1.

Summary Statement of the Proposal for Inclusion of Methylphenidate Methylphenidate (MPH), a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant, of the phenethylamine class, is proposed for inclusion in the WHO Model List of Essential Medications (EML) & the Model List of Essential Medications for Children (EMLc) for treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) under ICD-11, 6C9Z mental, behavioral or neurodevelopmental disorder, disruptive behavior or dissocial disorders. To date, the list of essential medications does not include stimulants, which play a critical role in the treatment of psychotic disorders. Methylphenidate is proposed for inclusion on the complimentary list for both children and adults. This application provides a systematic review of the use, efficacy, safety, availability, and cost-effectiveness of methylphenidate compared with other stimulant (first-line) and non-stimulant (second-line) medications.

    Levomilnacipran (Fetzima®) Indication: Indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), FDA approved July 2013. Mechanism of action Levomilnacipran, the more active enantiomer of racemic milnacipran, is a selective SNRI with greater potency for inhibition of norepinephrine relative to serotonin reuptake Compared with duloxetine or venlafaxine, levomilnacipran has over 10-fold higher selectivity for norepinephrine relative to serotonin reuptake inhibition The exact mechanism of the antidepressant action of levomilnacipran is unknown Dosage and administration Initial: 20 mg once daily for 2 days and then increased to 40 mg once daily. The dosage can be increased by increments of 40 mg at intervals of two or more days Maintenance: 40-120 mg once daily with or without food.

  • Sibutramine Hydrochloride Monohydrate) Capsule CS-IV
    MERIDIA - sibutramine hydrochloride capsule ---------- MERIDIA® (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) Capsule CS-IV DESCRIPTION MERIDIA® (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) is an orally administered agent for the treatment of obesity. Chemically, the active ingredient is a racemic mixture of the (+) and (-) enantiomers of cyclobutanemethanamine, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-N,N-dimethyl-α-(2-methylpropyl)-, hydrochloride, monohydrate, and has an empirical formula of C17H29Cl2NO. Its molecular weight is 334.33. The structural formula is shown below: Sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate is a white to cream crystalline powder with a solubility of 2.9 mg/mL in pH 5.2 water. Its octanol: water partition coefficient is 30.9 at pH 5.0. Each MERIDIA capsule contains 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg of sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate. It also contains as inactive ingredients: lactose monohydrate, NF; microcrystalline cellulose, NF; colloidal silicon dioxide, NF; and magnesium stearate, NF in a hard-gelatin capsule [which contains titanium dioxide, USP; gelatin; FD&C Blue No. 2 (5- and 10-mg capsules only); D&C Yellow No. 10 (5- and 15-mg capsules only), and other inactive ingredients]. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mode of Action Sibutramine produces its therapeutic effects by norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine reuptake inhibition. Sibutramine and its major pharmacologically active metabolites (M1 and M2) do not act via release of monoamines. Pharmacodynamics Sibutramine exerts its pharmacological actions predominantly via its secondary (M1) and primary (M2) amine metabolites. The parent compound, sibutramine, is a potent inhibitor of serotonin (5- hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and norepinephrine reuptake in vivo, but not in vitro. However, metabolites M1 and M2 inhibit the reuptake of these neurotransmitters both in vitro and in vivo.

Correspondence: Yu Ohmura, PhD, Department of Neuropharmacology, Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine, N15 W7, Kita-ku, Sapporo, 060-8638, Japan ([email protected]). Abstract Background: Deficits in impulse control are often observed in psychiatric disorders in which abnormalities of the prefrontal cortex are observed, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and bipolar disorder. We recently found that milnacipran, a serotonin/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, could suppress impulsive action in normal rats. However, whether milnacipran could suppress elevated impulsive action in rats with lesions of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which is functionally comparable with the human prefrontal cortex, remains unknown.

Key Messages • Acute treatment (<12 weeks) with o Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) (duloxetine, venlafaxine), but not selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (escitalopram, fluoxetine) led to a greater number of adverse events compared with placebo. o SSRIs (citalopram, escitalopram and fluoxetine) and SNRIs (duloxetine and venlafaxine) led to a greater number of patients withdrawing from studies due to adverse events compared with placebo o Details of the contributing adverse events in RCTs were rarely reported to more clearly characterize what adverse events to expect.

  • Efficacy of Milnacipran in Patients with Fibromyalgia R
    Efficacy of Milnacipran in Patients with Fibromyalgia R. MICHAEL GENDREAU, MICHAEL D. THORN, JUDY F. GENDREAU, JAY D. KRANZLER, SAULO RIBEIRO, RICHARD H. GRACELY, DAVID A. WILLIAMS, PHILIP J. MEASE, SAMUEL A. McLEAN, and DANIEL J. CLAUW ABSTRACT. Objective. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by widespread pain, tenderness, and a variety of other somatic symptoms. Current treatments are modestly effec- tive. Arguably, the best studied and most effective compounds are tricyclic antidepressants (TCA). Milnacipran, a nontricyclic compound that inhibits the reuptake of both serotonin and norepineph- rine, may provide many of the beneficial effects of TCA with a superior side effect profile. Methods. One hundred twenty-five patients with FM were randomly assigned in a 3:3:2 ratio to receive milnacipran twice daily, milnacipran once daily, or placebo for 3 months in a double-blind dose-escalation trial; 92% of twice-daily and 81% of once-daily participants achieved dose escala- tion to the target milnacipran dose of 200 mg. Results. The primary endpoint was reduction of pain. Both the once- and twice-daily groups showed statistically significant improvements in pain, as well as improvements in global well being, fatigue, and other domains. Response rates for patients receiving milnacipran were equal in patients with and without comorbid depression, but placebo response rates were considerably higher in depressed patients, leading to significantly greater overall efficacy in the nondepressed group.

The effect sizes were equal to those previously found with TCA, and the drug was generally well tolerated.
