Topic: Viloxazine


  
  Viloxazine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viloxazine (Emovit®, Vivalan®, Vivarint®, Vicilan®) is a bicyclic antidepressant
While viloxazine may be effective in clinical depression, it did relatively poorly in a double-blind randomized controlled trial versus amisulpride in the treatment of dysthymia, according to Leon and colleagues at the University of Valle in Colombia.
Viloxazine is known to increase plasma levels of phenytoin by an average of 37%.

 Viloxazine Hydrochloride (discontinued in the UK)
Viloxazine should not be taken with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressant.
Viloxazine may increase the anti-clotting effect of warfarin and nicoumalone.
Viloxazine may decrease the blood pressure lowering effect of bethanidine, guanethidine or debrisoquine.

 DEPRESSION IN DOWN CHILDREN: CLINICAL AND THERAPEUTICAL REPORT ON 45 CASES
In this sample the female prevalence inverted the usual M/F ratio with male prevalence among Down Ss, and the age of the onset in female showed significant anticipation (.016).
Six cases, five on viloxazine and one on fluoxetine had their drug substituted by another antidepressant (nortriptyline, amitriptyline, amitriptyline + perphenazine, clomipramine, fluoxetine).
Viloxazine worked well in 38 cases, and this proved its efficiency.

Viloxazine and the depressed schizophrenic--methodological issues -- Kurland and Nagaraju 21 (1): 37 -- The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology
A pilot study of a small group of schizophrenic patients manifesting symptoms of a depressive nature was treated in a double-blind study in which viloxazine or a placebo was administered in combination with either chlorpromazine or haloperidol.
There appeared to be no difference between the viloxazine-treated group and the placebo-treated group, although the study raised some question as to the adequacies of the dosage utilized since there was an absence of any apparent side effects.

 Vivalan (discontinued in the UK - June 2000)
Viloxazine is a bicyclic antidepressant that belongs to a group of medicines similar to the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs).
When depression occurs, there may be a decreased amount of the chemicals noradrenaline and serotonin released from nerve cells in the brain.
Viloxazine works by preventing the re-absorption of noradrenaline back into the nerve cells.

Controlled trial of nomifensin (HOE 984) and viloxazine in the treatment of depression in the elderly
The new antidepressant nomifensin (Hoechst 36984), a drug which showed less cardiotoxicity than tricyclics, was compared in a single-blind comparative trial with viloxazine.
Sinus tachycardia was recorded in two instances (one viloxazine and one nomifensin patient).

 Antidepressants: viloxazine ( Vivalan )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
comparison was made between the effects of maprotiline, the sole action of which is to inhibit the reuptake of noradrenaline, of salbutamol and of viloxazine on hypothermia induced by reserpine, oxotremorine or apomorphine.
The dose/effect curves in the three tests showed a similarity in profile between viloxazine and salbutamol, whereas no resemblance was evident between these two drugs and maprotiline.
These facts suggest that viloxazine which has a weak effect on noradrenaline reuptake acts probably as antidepressant by betamimetic activity.

 Citalopram and an antidepressant
Antidepressant efficacy and tolerability of citalopram and viloxazine were compared under double-blind conditions during the first two weeks of treatment with slow drop infusion, followed by oral administration for the rest of the six week trial period.
Thirty patients were allocated to the citalopram and 32 patients to the viloxazine group.
The mean MADRS total score at baseline was 34 in both groups and decreased to 12.3 in the citalopram and to 16.9 in the viloxazine group after 14 days of infusion.

 Effect of antidepressant drugs on the in-vitro egg-penetrating ability of golden hamster epididymal spermatozoa -- ...
Tricyclic antidepressants appeared to be without effect, except for desipramine which significantly decreased whiplash motility after spermatozoa were added to eggs, and clomipramine which decreased motility and whiplash motility in epididymal sperm suspensions after pretreatment of males.
Mianserin and viloxazine were also without effect, but nomifensine significantly decreased sperm motility and whiplash motility and inhibited egg penetration almost completely.
After 3 h preincubation with 0.75 mmol nomifensine hydrogen maleate/l, 2/181 and 0/256 eggs were penetrated in two separate series of experiments.

 Antidepressants: viloxazine and MAO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Consequently, an increase in catecholamine concentrations in brain of rats could be observed after pretreatment with viloxazine.
However, characterization of inhibition of monoamine oxidase activity by viloxazine in vitro revealed: Compared to the specific inhibitors clorgyline for MAO-A- and pargyline for MAO-B-activity, viloxazine was a very weak inhibitor both for MAO-A and MAO-B in vitro.
From the presented results and the results obtained by other laboratories it is concluded that inhibition of monoamine oxidase activity by viloxazine, although clearly demonstrated in animal experiments, may not be the only mechanism for an antidepressant action of the drug in man.

The initial recommended dose in elderly and hypersensitive patients is 100 mg twice daily.
Some antibacterial agents such as isoniazid, and erythromycin, antidepressant agents such as fluoxetine, fluvoxamine and viloxazine, calcium antagonists/verapamil may increase carbamazepine serum-concentration and induce carbamazepine toxicity.
Carbazin is a potent inducer of liver enzymes and has been reported to interact with drugs such as antibacterials / tetracyclines, anticoagulants / warfarin, corticosteroids / prednisolone, dexamethasone, immunosuppressants / cyclosporin, neuroleptics / haloperidol.

The specific antidepressant drugs used, were viloxazine, as the first choice drug in 38   Ss,  amitryptiline  (6  Ss),  fluoxetine  (2  Ss),  clomipramine  (2   Ss), nortryptiline  (2 Ss) and imipramine (1 S).

The choice of intravenous antidepressants was previously limited to agents such as dibenzepine, doxepin, clomipramine and viloxazine.
The results from both open and double-blind clinical studies with intravenous citalopram suggest that it is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for depression.
Moreover, when treatment is initiated by infusion and continued orally, citalopram is at least as effective as clomipramine, doxepin and viloxazine.

 The additive effects of quinine on antidepressant drugs in the forced swimming test in mice.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
When combined with QUIN, all drugs that act via inhibition of 5-HT uptake (imipramine, amitriptyline, citalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine and fluvoxamine) significantly increased the swimming time of mice.
The specific noradrenaline (NA) uptake inhibitors, desipramine and viloxazine, but not maprotiline, were also found to reduce the immobility time when pretreated with quinine.
Among trazodone, mianserin and iprindole (atypical ADS), only iprindole combined with quinine decreased the immobility (increased swimming) of the animals.

Now I will come to a fantastic antidepressant called Gamma-OH (brand name), and which could save lots of depressed people if it were marketed to that effect.
Some of these are: médifoxamine (Clédial), minaprine (Cantor), Viloxazine (Vivalan), not to mention amineptine and tianept ine!
