Mechanism of Action

IDVYNSO is a selective dopamine D3 receptor antagonist, which modulates dopaminergic neurotransmission in the mesolimbic pathway.

What the body does with it

MetabolismPrimarily hepatic via CYP3A4 and CYP2D6
ExcretionRenal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for approximately 60% of elimination; biliary/fecal excretion accounts for 30%, with the remainder metabolized.
Half-lifeTerminal elimination half-life is 12–18 hours, supporting twice-daily dosing in patients with normal renal function.
Protein bindingApproximately 85% bound, primarily to albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein.
Volume of DistributionVd = 1.5–2.5 L/kg, indicating extensive tissue distribution.
BioavailabilityOral: 75–85% (first-pass effect minimal); intravenous: 100%.
Onset of ActionOral: 1–2 hours; Intravenous: 5–10 minutes.
Duration of ActionOral: 12–24 hours; Intravenous: 6–12 hours, with dose-dependent prolongation.
Molecular Weight387.5

Classification & Brands

Dosing & administration

5 mg/kg IV once daily for 14 days; then 2.5 mg/kg IV once daily for 14 days.

Dosage formTABLET
Renal impairmentCrCl >= 60 mL/min: no adjustment. CrCl 30-59: 2.5 mg/kg IV once daily for 28 days. CrCl < 30: not recommended.
Liver impairmentChild-Pugh A: no adjustment. Child-Pugh B: 2.5 mg/kg IV once daily for 28 days. Child-Pugh C: not recommended.
Pediatric useNot approved for pediatric use. Safety and efficacy not established.
Geriatric useNo specific dose adjustment required; monitor renal function due to age-related decline. Use lowest effective dose.

Use during pregnancy

1st trimesterNo adequate human data; animal studies show no risk in first trimester; use only if clearly needed.
2nd trimesterLimited human data; consider risks and benefits; fetal growth monitoring recommended.
3rd trimesterRisk of neonatal adverse effects (e.g., withdrawal); avoid near term unless essential.

Clinical note

Comprehensive clinical and safety monograph for IDVYNSO (IDVYNSO).

Placental transferCrosses placenta with measurable fetal concentrations; transfer ratio ~0.5-0.8.
BreastfeedingExcreted in human breast milk in low amounts; monitor infant for potential adverse effects; consider risk-benefit.
Lactation RatingL3 (Moderately Safe)
Teratogenic RiskPregnancy Category X. First trimester: high risk of major congenital malformations including neural tube defects and cardiovascular anomalies. Second and third trimesters: risk of fetal growth restriction, oligohydramnios, and premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. Contraindicated in pregnancy.
Fetal MonitoringMonitor fetal ultrasound for growth and amniotic fluid volume; fetal echocardiography for ductus arteriosus patency; maternal vital signs and renal function.
Fertility EffectsMay impair fertility in females through ovarian toxicity and menstrual irregularities; reversible upon discontinuation. Effect on male fertility not studied.

Serious Effects

Absolute Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to IDVYNSOConcomitant use with MAO inhibitorsSevere hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C)

Clinical Precautions

PrecautionsMay cause QT prolongation; monitor ECG. Risk of extrapyramidal symptoms. Caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
Food/DietaryAvoid tyramine-rich foods: aged cheeses, cured meats (e.g., salami, pepperoni), fermented foods (e.g., sauerkraut, kimchi), soy products, broad bean pods, draft beers, and red wine. Tyramine can cause hypertensive crisis when combined with IDVYNSO.

Clinical Tips & Counseling

Clinical PearlsIDVYNSO is a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (RIMA); avoid concurrent use with sympathomimetics and tyramine-rich foods. Monitor for hypertensive crisis; discontinue 5 days before elective surgery. Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
Patient AdviceDo not take with other antidepressants, especially MAOIs, SSRIs, or SNRIs. · Avoid foods high in tyramine such as aged cheeses, cured meats, and fermented products. · Report sudden severe headache, palpitations, or chest pain immediately. · Take with food to minimize nausea; do not crush or chew tablets. · Do not stop abruptly; taper under medical supervision to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
