Milnacipran
Milnacipran is an antidepressant of the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor class. Milnacipran has been approved and sold in Austria since September 1998 under the brand name Ixel. Cypress Bioscience bought the exclusive rights for approval and marketing of the drug for any purpose in the US and Canada in 2003 from the manufacturer Pierre Fabre; the approval procedure in both countries is ongoing.

- General function:
- Involved in neurotransmitter:sodium symporter activity
- Specific function:
- Serotonin transporter whose primary function in the central nervous system involves the regulation of serotonergic signaling via transport of serotonin molecules from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal for re-utilization. Plays a key role in mediating regulation of the availability of serotonin to other receptors of serotonergic systems. Terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner.
