Pharmacological Profile
Like all other compounds from the group of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), fluoxetine regulates how much of the transmitter is absorbed back into cells. In this way, it effectively modulates the serotonin tract in the brain and can increase the feeling of pleasure and inner peace that this neurotransmitter is associated with. Some characteristics of fluoxetine include long elimination half-life and high bioavailability, as well as applicability to many different conditions and patients from different age groups. Fluoxetine is often described in literature by the shortened formula C17H18F3O.
Dosage and Therapy Duration
Since Intas Fluni is prescribed for a range of conditions from bulimia nervosa and impulsive behavior to major depressive disorder and panic disorder, the recommended doses and duration of continual use vary from case to case. When 20 mg oral tablets of fluoxetine are used, patients can safely consume up to 3 doses per day. However, it’s best to avoid self-administration and to ask a doctor about all details related to fluoxetine therapy.
Adverse Effects
Fluoxetine is not without its risks, with a range of adverse effects occurring during the therapeutic period. Most of those are relatively light, and may include some combination of irregular sleep and food intake, headaches, irritability, lowered libido, dry mouth, diarrhea, skin rush, etc. If the symptoms escalate to full serotonin syndrome or the patient experiences seizures, administration of Intas Fluni should be stopped.
