It's also crucial to note that Fluoxetine may interact with other medications, including but not limited to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), warfarin, and certain antibiotics.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Fluoxetine is a compounded oral suspension formulation used in the treatment of various mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This formulation is available in varying concentrations ranging from 1 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml, allowing for tailored dosing based on the individual patient's needs.

The medication is designed for oral administration, typically once or twice daily, and can be taken with or without food. The specific dosage and frequency of administration are determined by the healthcare provider, taking into account the patient's unique health status and therapeutic requirements.

Fluoxetine is metabolized in the liver, necessitating careful use in patients with liver impairment. It's crucial to understand that the full therapeutic effect of fluoxetine may not be evident for several weeks. Therefore, patients should be closely monitored for any changes in their symptoms during this period.

Patients are strongly advised not to discontinue the medication without first consulting their healthcare provider. Abrupt cessation can lead to withdrawal symptoms and a potential relapse of the condition being treated.
