Sevella, new fibro drug

Hello everybody,

I just read in my newsletter: About.com:Fibro&CFS, That there will be a new drug out in March, for Fibro. The drug is Milnacipran. The brand name is Savella. It's manufactured by Forest Labotories.

Sevella is a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, as is Cymbalta, but Sevella is the first drug in the class to boost norepinephrine more than serotonin.

I hope this is going to help. Smile

Hugs,

Shirley
