Zuranolone Treatment

Meaning

Zuranolone treatment is a pharmacological intervention that employs the synthetic neuroactive steroid zuranolone, an analog of allopregnanolone, to achieve rapid and potent modulation of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors in the central nervous system. This specific therapeutic agent is clinically indicated for the short-term treatment of major depressive disorder and, notably, for the acute management of postpartum depression.
