Description
Fluoxetine – Intas Fluni 10 mg
Overview
When it comes to anti-depressant, fluoxetine is among the most promising chemical compounds that was demonstrated to be a very effective remedy for a number of different conditions. This chemical is the active ingredient of Intas Fluni, Prozac, and other commonly prescribed medicaments. It helps the patients to regain some control over their moods and behaviors while causing fewer side effects than any of the alternatives.
Pharmacological Profile
Chemical composition of fluoxetine puts it in the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs, a group that also contains several other important pharmacological agents. A shared trait of these compounds is their ability to affect binding of serotonin to receptors in the brain, while the impact of this neurotransmitter on the feelings of wellbeing and satisfaction is well known. Thanks to this mechanism, fluoxetine can be helpful against major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, and several other psychological conditions.
Dosage and Therapy Duration
Intas Fluni is delivered in the form of tablets for oral consumption. While adult patients can safely take between 1 and 6 tablets containing 10 mg of fluoxetine per day, the appropriate dose should be determined by a qualified physician. The dosage and duration are chosen based on the type of condition being treated, patient’s history and overall health, and other relevant factors.
Adverse Effects
While fluoxetine is generally safe to use within the clinical guidelines, there is a possibility that side effects of various strength might appear. They range in strength from increased fatigue and exhaustion, through nervousness, headaches, loss of appetite and sexual desire, to insomnia and nausea. A small minority of patients experience more serious adverse effects such as seizures and maniacal ideation. Therapy should be immediately interrupted if side effects are persistent or particularly strong.
