What is Fluoxetine?

Fluoxetine is a prescription drug that increases the activity of serotonin, a chemical in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter (a messenger chemical that carries signals between nerve cells in the brain) that is thought to have a good influence on mood, emotion, and sleep. After carrying a message, serotonin is usually reabsorbed by the nerve cells. Fluoxetine works by blocking this reabsorption, leaving more serotonin available to pass further messages between nerve cells.

Fluoxetine belongs to a class of medicines known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is used for the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and panic disorder.
