              Warnings

              Black Box Warnings

              In short-term studies, antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults (<24 years) taking antidepressants for major depressive disorders and other psychiatric illnesses

              This increase was not seen in patients aged >24 years; a slight decrease in suicidal thinking was seen in adults >65 years

              In children and young adults, risks must be weighed against the benefits of taking antidepressants

              Patients should be monitored closely for changes in behavior, clinical worsening, and suicidal tendencies; this should be done during initial 1-2 months of therapy and dosage adjustments

              The patient’s family should communicate any abrupt changes in behavior to the healthcare provider

              Worsening behavior and suicidal tendencies that are not part of the presenting symptoms may require discontinuation of therapy

              This drug is not approved for use in pediatric patients

              Contraindications

              Hypersensitivity

              Coadministration with serotonergic drugs

              • Concomitant use or within 14 days of MAOIs increases risk of serotonin syndrome
              • Reactions to concomitant administration with MAOIs include tremor, myoclonus, diaphoresis, nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, hyperthermia with features resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome, seizures, rigidity, autonomic instability with possible rapid fluctuations of vital signs, and mental status changes (including extreme agitation progressing to delirium and coma)
              • Starting fluvoxamine in a patient who is being treated with linezolid or IV methylene blue is contraindicated because of an increased risk of serotonin syndrome
              • If linezolid or IV methylene blue must be administered, discontinue SSRI immediately and monitor for CNS toxicity; may resume 24 hr after last linezolid or methylene blue dose, or after 2 weeks of monitoring (5 weeks for fluoxetine), whichever comes first

              Cautions

              Conflicting evidence regarding use of SSRIs during pregnancy and increased risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (see Pregnancy)

              In neonates exposed to SNRIs/SSRIs late in third trimester: Risk of complications such as feeding difficulties, irritability, and respiratory problems

              Risk of mydriasis; may trigger angle closure attack in patients with angle closure glaucoma with anatomically narrow angles without a patent iridectomy

              May need to modify dose for hepatic impairment; titrate at smaller increments and longer intervals

              Clinical worsening and suicide ideation may occur despite medication in adolescents and young adults (18-24 years); prescriptions should be written for the smallest quantity consistent with good patient care

              May worsen mania symptoms or precipitate mania in patients with bipolar disorder

              May impair platelet aggregation; increases risk of bleeding in patients taking anticoagulants/antiplatelets concomitantly

              Do not use concurrently with alosetron, astemizole, cisapride, pimozide, terfenadine, or tizanidine due to QT prolongation risk

              May impair ability to operate heavy machinery and other tasks requiring mental alertness

              Bone fractures have been associated with antidepressant treatment; consider possibility of fragility fracture if patient presents with pain, joint tenderness, or swelling

              Impaired glucose control (hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia) reported; monitor for signs/symptoms of loss of glucose control, especially in patients with diabetes

              Syndrome of inapropriate antidiuretic hormone and hyponatremia reported with SSRI and SNRI use; volume deplretion and/or concurrent use of diuretics may increase risk; consider discontinuing therapy if symptomatic hyponatremia occurs

              Use caution in patients with cardiovascular disease or history of seizure disorder

              Serotonin syndrome

              • Potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome has been reported with drugs that impair serotonin metabolism (in particular, MAOIs, including nonpsychiatric MAOIs, such as linezolid and IV methylene blue)
              • It has also been reported with reported with SNRIs and SSRIs, including fluvoxamine, alone but particularly with concomitant use of serotonergic drugs (including triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, fentanyl, lithium, tramadol, tryptophan, buspirone, meperidine, methadone, amphetamines, and St. John's Wort (see Contraindications)
              • serotonin syndrome can also occur when these drugs are used alone
              • If concomitant use of this drug with other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, inform patients of increased risk for serotonin syndrome and monitor for symptoms

              Sexual dysfunction

              • Use of may cause symptoms of sexual dysfunction in both male and female patients; inform patients that they should discuss any changes in sexual function and potential management strategies with their healthcare provider
              • Use of SSRIs, may cause symptoms of sexual dysfunction; in male patients, SSRI use may result in ejaculatory delay or failure, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction
              • In female patients, SSRI/SNRI use may result in decreased libido and delayed or absent orgasm
              • Important for prescribers to inquire about sexual function prior to initiation of therapy and to inquire specifically about changes in sexual function during treatment, because sexual function may not be spontaneously reported
              • When evaluating changes in sexual function, obtaining a detailed history (including timing of symptom onset) is important because sexual symptoms may have other causes, including underlying psychiatric disorder
              • Discuss potential management strategies to support patients in making informed decisions about treatment

              Pregnancy & Lactation

              Pregnancy

              There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to antidepressants during pregnancy; healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients by calling the National Pregnancy Registry for Antidepressants at 1-844-405-6185 or visiting online at https://womensmentalhealth.org/clinical-and-research-programs/pregnancyregistry/antidepressants

              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

              Exposure to SSRIs, particularly in month before delivery, associated with <2-fold increase in risk of postpartum hemorrhage; bleeding events related to drugs that interfere with serotonin reuptake have ranged from ecchymosis, hematoma, epistaxis, and petechiae to life-threatening hemorrhages

              Use in the month before delivery may be associated with an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage

              Animal data

              • Pregnant rats treated orally with throughout period of organogenesis, increased embryofetal death and increased incidences of fetal eye abnormalities (folded retinas) was observed at doses ≥3 times maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 300 mg/day given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis; in addition, decreased fetal body weight was seen at a dose 6 times MRHD given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis
              • There were no adverse developmental effects in rabbits treated with fluvoxamine during period of organogenesis up to a dose 2 times MRHD given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis; when drug was administered orally to rats during pregnancy and lactation, increased pup mortality at birth was seen at dose 2 times MRHD given to adolescents on a mg/m2 basis; in addition, decreases in pup body weight and survival were observed at doses that are ≥0.13 times MRHD given to adolescents

              Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn

              • Potential risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn when used during pregnancy
              • Initial Public Health Advisory in 2006 was based on a single published study; since then, there have been conflicting findings from new studies, making it unclear whether use of SSRIs during pregnancy can cause PPHN
              • FDA has reviewed the additional new study results and has concluded that, given the conflicting results from different studies, it is premature to reach any conclusion about a possible link between SSRI use in pregnancy and PPHN
              • FDA recommendation: FDA advises healthcare professionals not to alter their current clinical practice of treating depression during pregnancy and to report any adverse events to the FDA MedWatch program
              • A meta-analysis of 7 observational studies, found exposure to SSRIs in late pregnancy (ie, >20 weeks' gestation) more than doubled the risk of PPHN that could not be explained by other etiologies (eg, congenital malformations, meconium aspiration) (BMJ 2014;348:f6932)

              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

              Pregnancy Categories

              A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

              B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

              C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

              D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

              X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

              NA: Information not available.

              Pharmacogenomics

              Several SSRIs (eg, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline) are metabolized by CYP2D6

              CYP2D6 is involved in the metabolism of approximately 20% of drugs in clinical use and displays large individual-to-individual variability in activity due to genetic polymorphisms

              More than 80 CYP2D6 variant alleles have been identified; however, 4 of the most prevalent alleles, CYP2D6*3, *4, *5, and *6, account for 93-97% of CYP2D6 poor metabolizers (PMs)

              CYP2D6*4, the most common variant (~25% frequency in whites), causes a splicing defect; CYP2D6*3 (2.7% frequency) causes a frameshift mutation; and CYP3D6*5 (2.6%) is an entire deletion of the CYP2D6 gene; individuals homozygous for these alleles have no CYP2D6 activity

              The impact of CYP2D6 activity is further complicated in some SSRIs (eg, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline) that, in addition to being substrates for CYP2D6, are also known to moderately inhibit CYP2D6 activity

              Genetic testing laboratories

              • Genotyping tests for CYP2D6 variants are commercially available through Applied Biosystems (http://www.appliedbiosystems.com/) and GenPath Diagnostics (http://www.genpathdiagnostics.com/)

              FLUVOXAMINE EXTENDED-RELEASE - ORAL

              (floo-VOX-a-meen)

              COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Luvox CR

              WARNING: Antidepressant medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/mood disorders. These medications can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, studies have shown that a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. It is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication (especially for people younger than 25), even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition.Tell the doctor right away if you notice worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed.

              USES: Fluvoxamine is used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It helps decrease thoughts that are unwanted or that don't go away (obsessions) and urges to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand-washing, counting, checking) that interfere with daily living. Fluvoxamine is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This medication works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain.

              HOW TO USE: Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using fluvoxamine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily at bedtime.Swallow the capsules whole. Do not crush or chew the capsules. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects.The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, age, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products). To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase. Take this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day.Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when this drug is suddenly stopped. Also, you may experience symptoms such as mood swings, headache, tiredness, sleep changes, and brief feelings similar to electric shock. To prevent these symptoms while you are stopping treatment with this drug, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Report any new or worsening symptoms right away.It may take up to several weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug.Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.

              SIDE EFFECTS: See also Warning section.Nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, weakness, and sweating may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: easy bleeding/bruising, muscle pain, shaking (tremor), decreased interest in sex, changes in sexual ability, pounding heartbeat.Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: fainting, irregular heartbeat, black stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, seizures, eye pain/swelling/redness, widened pupils, vision changes (such as seeing rainbows around lights at night, blurred vision).This medication may increase serotonin and rarely cause a very serious condition called serotonin syndrome/toxicity. The risk increases if you are also taking other drugs that increase serotonin, so tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take (see Drug Interactions section). Get medical help right away if you develop some of the following symptoms: fast heartbeat, hallucinations, loss of coordination, severe dizziness, severe nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, twitching muscles, unexplained fever, unusual agitation/restlessness.Rarely, males may have a painful or prolonged erection lasting 4 or more hours. If this occurs, stop using this drug and get medical help right away, or permanent problems could occur.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects.
