Vilazodone (United States trade name Viibryd) is a serotonergic antidepressant developed by Clinical Data for the treatment of major depressive disorder. The chemical compound was originally developed by Merck KGaA (Germany).[2] By 2009 two phase III clinical trials with positive results had been completed.[3] Vilazodone was approved by the FDA for use in the United States to treat major depressive disorder on January 21, 2011.[4][5][6]
Medical uses
Major Depressive Disorder
According to two eight-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in adults, vilazodone was reported to elicit an antidepressant response after one week of treatment. After eight weeks, subjects assigned to vilazodone 40mg daily dose (titrated over 2 weeks) experienced a significantly higher response rate than the group given placebo (44% vs 30%, P = .002). But, remission rates for vilazodone were not significantly different versus placebo.[7][8]
However, FDA staff called these claims into question in a September 2011 article that concluded "it is unknown whether [vilazodone] has any advantages compared to other drugs in the antidepressant class."[9]
Adverse Effects
After a 1 year, open-label study assessing the safety and tolerability of vilazodone in patients with major depressive disorder, the most common adverse effects were diarrhea (35.7%), nausea (31.6%), and headache (20.0%); greater than 90% of these adverse effects were mild or moderate.[10] In contrast to other SSRIs currently on the market, initial clinical trials showed that vilazodone did not cause significant decreased sexual desire/function as with many other antidepressants, which often cause people to abandon their use.[4]
Incidence of Adverse Effects
Sources:[1]
- Very common adverse effects (incidence > 10%)
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Sleep Paralysis
- Common adverse effects (1-10% incidence)
- Vomiting
- Dry mouth
- Dizziness
- Insomnia
- Uncommon adverse effects (0.1-1% incidence)
- Somnolence
- Paraesthesia
- Tremor
- Abnormal dreams
- Libido decreased
- Restlessness
- Akathisia
- Restless legs syndrome
- Abnormal orgasms (male patients only)
- Delayed ejaculations (male patients only)
- Erectile dysfunction (male patients only)
- Fatigue
- Feeling jittery
- Palpitations
- Ventricular premature contractions
- Arthralgia
- Increased appetite
- Rare adverse effects (<0.1% incidence)
- Serotonin syndrome — a serious adverse effect characterised by:
- -Nausea
- -Vomiting
- -Mental status change (e.g. confusion, hallucinations, agitation, coma, stupor)
- -Muscle rigidity
- -Tremor
- -Myoclonus
- -Hyperreflexia — overresponsive/overactive reflexes.
- -Hyperthermia — elevated body temperature.
- -Autonomic instability (e.g. tachycardia, dizziness, abnormally excessive sweating, etc.)
- Mania/hypomania — a potentially dangerously elated/agitated mood. Every antidepressant has the potential to induce these psychiatric reactions. They are particularly problematic in those with a history of hypomania/mania such as those with bipolar disorder.[11]
- Unknown incidence adverse effects
- Suicidal ideation — all antidepressants can cause suicidal ideation especially in young adults and adolescents under the age of 25.
- Abnormal bleeding — the SSRIs are known for their ability to increase the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeds and other bleeding abnormalities.[11][12][13]
- Seizures
- Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) — a condition characterised by an abnormally excessive secretion of antidiuretic hormone causing potentially-fatal electrolyte abnormalities (such as hyponatraemia).
- Hyponatraemia (a complication of the former) — low blood sodium.
Overdose
Adverse reactions of VIIBRYD at doses of 200-280 mg included serotonin syndrome, lethargy, restlessness, hallucinations, and disorientation.
Pharmacology
Vilazodone acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (IC50 = 2.1 nM; Ki = 0.1 nM) and 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist (IC50 = 0.2 nM; IA = ~60–70%).[14][15] It has negligible affinity for other serotonin receptors such as 5-HT1D, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C.[14][15]
It also exhibits negligible inhibitory activity at the norepinephrine and dopamine transporters (IC50 = 56 nM for NET and 37 nM for DAT).[1]
Partial agonism of the 5-HT1A receptor is a relatively novel mechanism of action and is also shared by the anxiolytic buspirone (Buspar), the atypical antipsychotics aripiprazole (Abilify) and lurasidone (Latuda) ,and the novel antidepressant vortioxetine (Brintellix).
Pharmacokinetics
Vilazodone is prescribed for major depressive disorder in doses ranging from 10 mg to 40 mg daily. Its half-life is approximately 25 hours.
Ingredients
Viibryd (US)
Viibryd is available in tablet form as the hydrochloride salt of vilazodone in doses of 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg. Inactive ingredients include lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc, and various FD&C colorings (Blue #1, Yellow #6, Red #40) depending on the dose.[1]
