What is prozac?
Generic Name: fluoxetine
Other Brand Names:
Prozac Weekly, Sarafem, fluoxetine, Fluoxetine Hydrochloride, Rapiflux, Selfemra
Fluoxetine is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(SSRIs). Fluoxetine affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression,
panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
Fluoxetine is used to treat major depressive disorder, bulimia nervosa (an eating disorder)
obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Fluoxetine is sometimes used together with another medication called olanzapine (Zyprexa) to
treat depression caused by bipolar disorder (manic depression). This combination is also used to treat
depression after at least 2 other medications have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms.
Fluoxetine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
