Fluoxetine
Fluoxetine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is commonly known by its brand name Prozac. Fluoxetine is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bulimia nervosa, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
Fluoxetine works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, in the brain. Serotonin is involved in regulating mood, emotions, and behavior. It is believed that depression and other mental health conditions may be caused by an imbalance of serotonin in the brain. By inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, fluoxetine allows more serotonin to be available in the brain, which can help improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression and other disorders.
