Indications
Milnacipran belongs to the class of selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and is used to treat fibromyalgia. This chronic condition is characterized by symptoms such as muscle stiffness, tenderness, pain, fatigue, and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
Milnacipran helps to increase the levels of natural substances in the brain, namely serotonin and norepinephrine, which aid in halting the transmission of pain signals.
