Pregnancy Category

Name : Not Classified
Description
FDA has not yet classified the drug into a specified pregnancy category.

Mode of Action

Fluvoxamine, derived from aralkylketone, inhibits the re-uptake of serotonin in brain neurons.

Interaction

Co-admin with fluvoxamine may increase carbamazepine toxicity and serum levels of theophylline. Lithium enhances the serotonergic effects of fluvoxamine. Anticoagulants may require dosage adjustments. Diltiazem with fluvoxamine may lead to bradycardia. Avoid alcohol. Potentially Fatal: Fluvoxamine should not be used in combination with MAOIs, or within 14 days of discontinuing treatment with MAOIs.

Pregnancy Category Note

Pregnancy Prolonged experience with fluvoxamine in pregnant women over decades, based on published observational studies, have not identified a clear drug-associated risk of major birth defects or miscarriage; there are risks associated with untreated depression in pregnancy and risks of persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn (PPHN) and poor neonatal adaptation with exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), including fluvoxamine, during pregnancy Women who discontinue antidepressants during pregnancy are more likely to experience a relapse of major depression than women who continue antidepressants; consider risk of untreated depression when discontinuing or changing treatment with antidepressant medication during pregnancy and postpartum Neonates exposed to therapy and other SSRIs or SNRIs late in the third trimester have developed complications requiring prolonged hospitalization, respiratory support, and tube feeding; such complications can arise immediately upon delivery; reported clinical findings have included respiratory distress, cyanosis, apnea, seizures, temperature instability, feeding difficulty, vomiting, hypoglycemia, hypotonia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, tremor, jitteriness, irritability, and constant crying; these features are consistent with either a direct toxic effect of SSRIs and SNRIs or, possibly, a drug discontinuation syndrome; it should be noted that, in some cases, the clinical picture is consistent with serotonin syndrome Animal findings suggest fertility may be impaired while taking fluvoxamine Lactation Data from published literature report presence of drug in human milk; no adverse effects on breastfed infant have been reported in most cases of maternal use of fluvoxamine during breastfeeding; however, there are reports of diarrhea, vomiting, decreased sleep, and agitation; there are no data on effect of fluvoxamine on milk production Developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother?s clinical need for fluvoxamine and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from drug or from the underlying maternal condition Monitor infants exposed to fluvoxamine through breast milk for diarrhea, vomiting, decreased sleep, and agitation
