Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Levomilnacipran inhibits reuptake of serotonin and noradrenaline by their respective transporters, SERT (SLC6A4) and NET (SLC6A2). By inhibiting the re-uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine in the CNS, this drug rebalances the levels of these neurotransmitters and increases their activity. This improves symptoms of depression and anxiety.
