Drug Uses

Fluoxetine is a drug used medically in the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and many other disorders. It is a psychotropic drug for oral administration.

How Taken

Fluoxetine usually is taken once or twice a day. To be effective, it should be taken regularly. Make a habit of taking it at the same time you do some other daily activity. It may be 4 weeks before you feel any relief from your depression, but the drug's effects should last about 9 months after a 3-month treatment regimen. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, the full effect may take 5 weeks to appear.

Warnings/Precautions

Unless you are directed to do so by your doctor, do not take this medication if you are recovering from a heart attack or if you have liver disease or diabetes. Fluoxetine may cause you to become drowsy or less alert and may affect your judgment. Therefore, driving or operating dangerous machinery or participating in any hazardous activity that requires full mental alertness is not recommended. While taking this medication, you may feel dizzy or light-headed or actually faint when getting up from a lying or sitting position. If getting up slowly doesn't help or if this problem continues, notify your doctor. If you develop a skin rash or hives while taking Fluoxetine, discontinue use of the medication and notify your doctor immediately. Fluoxetine should be used with caution if you have a history of seizures. You should discuss all of your medical conditions with your doctor before taking this medication. Fluoxetine can occasionally cause decreased appetite and weight loss, especially in depressed people who are already underweight and in those with bulimia. If you notice changes in your weight or appetite, tell your doctor. The effects of Fluoxetine during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. This medication appears in breast milk, and breastfeeding is not recommended while you are taking Fluoxetine.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Fluoxetine and you remember the same day, take it as soon as possible. If you do not remember until the next day, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Fluoxetine preferentially inhibited the reuptake of serotonin into brain synaptosomes and platelets in rats and humans. In receptor binding studies, fluoxetine was shown to have only weak affinity for various receptor systems, namely opiate, serotonergic 5HT(1), dopaminergic, beta-adrenergic, alpha(2)-adrenergic, histaminergic, alpha(1)-adrenergic, muscarinic, and serotonergic 5HT(2) receptors. Unlike most clinically effective antidepressants, fluoxetine did not down-regulate beta-adrenergic receptors; however, like all tested antidepressants, it caused up-regulation of GABA-B receptors. Mixed effects have been observed on serotonergic receptor sensitivity. Pharmacokinetics: Fluoxetine is well absorbed after oral administration. In man, following a single 40 mg dose, peak plasma concentrations of fluoxetine ranged from 15 to 55 ng/mL 6 to 8 hours after dosing (range=1.5 to 12 hours). The capsule and oral solution dosage forms of fluoxetine are bioequivalent. Food appears to affect the rate but not the extent of absorption. Fluoxetine is extensively metabolized in the liver to norfluoxetine, and other, unidentified metabolites. Norfluoxetine, a desmethyl metabolite, is also a serotonin reuptake inhibitor; its pharmacological activity being similar to that of the parent drug. Norfluoxetine contributes to the long duration of action of fluoxetine. Elimination of metabolites occurs primarily in the urine with a smaller amount also being present in the feces.
