Zurzuvae is taken orally and can start working after just three days of treatment.
The American Medicines Agency (FDA) announced Friday, August 4, to authorize for the first time a tablet dedicated to the treatment of postpartum depression, a situation encountered by many women after childbirth but long surrounded by a taboo. Zurzuvae, from Sage Therapeutics Laboratories, is “the first oral drug to be indicated for the treatment of postpartum depression in adults”notes the FDA in a press release.
Physical and psychological shock that can last several months, postpartum depression is a situation “serious and life-threatening, during which women experience sadness, feelings of guilt, worthlessness”, recalls Tiffany Farchione, head of psychiatry at the American Medicines Agency. Every year, about half a million American women experience postpartum depression. “Having access to oral medication will be a beneficial option for many of these women who are dealing with extreme, and sometimes even life-threatening, feelings”in particular via suicidal thoughts, adds Tiffany Farchione in the press release.
According to two double-blind studies cited by the FDA, patients who received Zurzuvae “showed much better improvements in their symptoms than those in the placebo group”. Authorities recommend taking one 50 mg tablet every night for 14 days. Its price has not been disclosed.
Today, around one in eight women who have given birth experience symptoms of postpartum depression, and of these, only a quarter receive treatment, said Asima Ahmad, medical manager for the company Carrot Fertility. And if he “there are a lot of drugs that treat depression, zuranolone (the active ingredient)studied as a treatment for postpartum depression, has faster efficacy and shorter treatment duration than other drugs already available”, writes the specialist. Zurzuvae can start working after just three days of treatment, she points out. The Medicines Agency advises against driving during treatment due to side effects.
Asima Ahmad specifies that another drug, brexanolone, already exists but requires an intravenous injection over 60 hours, whereas with oral administration at home, Zurzuvae “could improve ease of access for some populations”especially ethnic minorities, who are less aware of the risks.

After more than 50 years in captivity, the marine mammal will return to its native waters in the Pacific Ocean, off Washington State, the owner of the aquarium announced on Thursday March 30.
The release plan for the orca – also known as Tokitae – will span the next two years, the facility has informed. This decision is the result of abinding agreementbetween The Dolphin Company, which operates the Seaquarium, Miami-Dade County and animal rights activists.

However, many experts warn that Lolita’s release will be complicated. Captured in August 1970 and then sold to the Miami Seaquarium, the orca performed in its early days with another orca named Hugo, according to the park’s website. Since the death of her companion in 1980, Lolita has not rubbed shoulders with another animal for over 40 years. In addition, due to its life spent almost entirely in captivity, the orca is unable to feed itself.

The historian all the same salutesa powerful and symbolic victory». «If his return inspires people to commit to ensuring orcas have a healthy place to live, it will be a big hit.».
