The active ingredient in these capsules is fluoxetine, an antidepressant of the SSRI class. It comes as hard capsules containing 10 mg, 20 mg or 60 mg, and is used to treat bulimia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder and major depressive disorder. It is also known as Prozac.
Fluoxetine inhibits the neuronal reuptake of serotonin, increasing its availability in the synaptic cleft. Effects may take 2–4 weeks, and treatment is long-term. It can raise the risk of suicidal thoughts, especially in young people or when the dose changes; children and adolescents need strict clinical monitoring, and worsening mood needs immediate medical attention (MedlinePlus). Serotonin syndrome also needs urgent medical attention. Do not use it with MAO inhibitors or if hypersensitive to fluoxetine; avoid alcohol and St John’s Wort. It may impair driving or operating machinery. Store below 25°C.
