Fluoxetine HCl is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used primarily to treat depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, bulimia nervosa, and PMDD. It works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps regulate mood and emotional state. Marketed under well-known brand names like Prozac and Sarafem, Fluoxetine is available in various forms including capsules, tablets, and liquid. It is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects like nausea, insomnia, or sexual dysfunction.
Fluoxetine HCl works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, thereby increasing serotonin levels at nerve synapses. This helps improve mood, reduce anxiety, and regulate emotional responses, making it effective for depression, OCD, and related disorders.
