Brexanolone Therapy

Meaning

Brexanolone therapy is a specific, acute clinical intervention involving the continuous intravenous administration of brexanolone, which is a synthetic form of the neurosteroid allopregnanolone. This treatment is clinically indicated for the rapid management of severe postpartum depression (PPD) in adult women. It represents a highly targeted pharmacological approach to quickly restore balance to the GABAergic signaling pathways that are often compromised during the peripartum period, offering rapid symptom relief.
