What is Zulresso?

Zulresso is a controlled substance with FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approval. It is manufactured by Sage Therapeutics, Inc.

Zulresso is classed as a neuroactive steroid gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptor positive modulator, used for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD) in adults.

Postpartum depression is a distinct and identifiable major depressive disorder. It occurs in 20% of postpartum moms. Without treatment, depressed Moms are more likely to have an impairment of bonding with their babies. Untreated depression and anxiety during and after pregnancy can cause issues with children, such as cognitive and developmental delays, a lack of self-control, aggression, and an increased risk of substance abuse.

Depression and Anxiety are the most common mental health disorders in pregnancy and postpartum. Clinical trials show that Zulresso can help women reduce depressive symptoms.

What doses of Zulresso are available?

Zulresso is available in injection form, in the following doses: 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL) single-dose vial.

A healthcare provider must be available on-site to monitor the patient at a certified healthcare facility and intervene if required during the infusion. Zulresso infusion is given as a continuous intravenous infusion over 60 hours (2.5 days). The diluted product can only be used for 12 hours at room temperature, so each 60-hour infusion will need at least five infusion bags to be prepared.

For more serious symptoms, an antidepressant, such as Prozac, is often added to support lifestyle regimen, to help stabilize brain chemistry. Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition. Keep all follow-up visits with your healthcare provider as scheduled.
