Overview
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Zurzuvae (zuranolone), the first oral medication indicated to treat postpartum depression (PPD) in adult patients. Zuranolone is a potentially faster-acting, once-daily oral therapy for treatment of postpartum depression with just a 14-day regimen.
PPD is a major depressive episode that typically occurs after childbirth but can also begin during the later stages of pregnancy. Until now, treatment for PPD was only available as an IV injection given by a health care provider in certain health care facilities.
