It is a reuptake-inhibitor of Serotonin and Norepinephrine. Excreted into breast milk in clinically non-significant amount with no side-effects being observed in breastfed infants from treated mothers. Plasma level in those infants was very low or undetectable. Because there is less experience published than with other antidepressants of the same pharmacological group, it should be preferred the use of an alternative drug that is known to be safer in the neonatal period or prematurity. Galactorrhea has been observed but less frequently than with other antidepressants. Women who use antidepressant medication during pregnancy are in need of more support for breastfeeding since they are at risk for early weaning.
