Zulresso, the first medicine specifically approved by the FDA for the treatment of postpartum depression.
Healthcare settings that elect to administer Zulresso must enroll and become certified in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. The REMS is required by the FDA to ensure the potential benefits of therapy outweigh its risks. Zulresso is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the Zulresso REMS because excessive sedation or sudden loss of consciousness can result in serious harm. REMS certified centers will be trained, complete a knowledge assessment, officially enroll, and then implement necessary processes and procedures to administer the therapy.
