Fluoxetine Description

What is Fluoxetine?

Fluoxetine is a prescription medicine in the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. It is used to treat several mood and anxiety conditions. The active ingredient helps balance brain chemicals linked to mood. Brand names include Prozac, and it is available in capsule and tablet forms. This page offers a concise review of the substance as found in online pharmacies.

How does it work?

Fluoxetine increases serotonin in the brain. This helps improve mood, reduce anxiety, and steady compulsive behaviors. It may take 1 to 4 weeks to notice small improvements, and several weeks to feel the full benefit. Do not expect instant relief. It is not a stimulant or a sedative; it changes brain signaling over time.

What conditions can it treat?

Major depressive disorder is the common use. It also treats obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, bulimia nervosa, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Some doctors may prescribe it for other conditions based on patient needs. Always follow the prescription plan and report new symptoms.

How to take

Take fluoxetine exactly as prescribed. The usual dose for adults starts at 20 mg once daily, in the morning. Doses may be adjusted gradually. Swallow capsules whole with water; you can take with food if it upsets your stomach. Do not open, crush, or chew capsules. Do not stop suddenly; stopping may worsen symptoms or cause withdrawal-like effects. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose.

Side effects and safety

Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping, anxiety, headache, dry mouth, loss of appetite, and sweating. Some people may gain or lose weight. Sexual side effects such as reduced libido or delayed ejaculation can occur. If any side effects are severe or persistent, contact your clinician. In rare cases, fluoxetine can trigger mood changes or suicidal thoughts, especially in young people. Seek urgent care if you notice agitation, confusion, high fever, stiff muscles, or rapid heartbeat. There is also a risk of serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs.

Precautions and interactions

Tell your doctor about all medications you take, including herbs. Avoid MAO inhibitors or start/stop medications within 14 days. Caution in liver or kidney disease, diabetes, glaucoma, or seizures. Monitor bleeding risk with NSAIDs or anticoagulants. Alcohol may worsen side effects. Fluoxetine is generally not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly needed; if you are breastfeeding discuss with your provider.

Storage and practical notes

Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Keep the bottle closed; check expiration date. Store out of reach of children. Use each prescription exactly as directed and dispose of unused pills according to local guidelines. Online pharmacies provide guidance and may require confirmation from a licensed pharmacist.
