What is Fluoxetine?
Fluoxetine is an antidepressant medicine, under the category of the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI), and Schedule H. It has some popular brand names like Prozac and Sarafem.
How does Fluoxetine work?
Fluoxetine is not associated with the inhibition of norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake at therapeutic doses. However, it does slow down the reuptake of serotonin, resulting in serotonin persisting longer when it is released. In simplest terms, this particular medicine works by increasing the levels of a chemical substance in the brain called serotonin. It has been found effective in bringing out a significant increase in synaptic norepinephrine and dopamine among rats, during clinical trials.
