What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Levomilnacipran and warfarin

Levomilnacipran's FDA label of April 30, 2024 names warfarin in its drug interactions section; the warfarin label PlainMeds reads does not name levomilnacipran. The levomilnacipran label: “Concomitant use of FETZIMA with an antiplatelet or anticoagulant drug may potentiate the risk of bleeding. This may be due to the effect of FETZIMA on the release of serotonin by platelets.”

Check it at the source: the levomilnacipran FDA label on DailyMed (effective April 30, 2024, Allergan, Inc.); the warfarin FDA label on DailyMed (effective May 29, 2026, Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC).
