Mechanism of action

  • SLC6A2 inhibitor

    It acts by binding to the norepinephrine transporter and blocking reuptake of extracellular norepinephrine (noradrenaline) back into the terminals. A meta-analysis showed that reboxetine (marketed by Pfizer in Europe, but not in the U.S. ) lacks efficacy.

    High selectivity for NET over SERT/DAT. Low affinity for monoamine/histamine/ACh receptors
