Fludac 20 mg

Antidepressant medication Fludac 20 is used to treat severe depression, OCD, bulimia nervosa (eating disorder), and panic disorder. Depression is a mental disorder characterized by feelings of sadness, dissatisfaction, wrath, hopelessness, and/or loss that interfere with daily activities.

Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor included in Fludac 20. It prevents nerves from reabsorbing serotonin, a mood-boosting chemical messenger that communicates between brain cells. This increases serotonin levels in the neuron synapse, which assists in mood regulation and the treatment of depression.

Fludac 20 may be administered with or without food. Fludac 20 should be administered precisely as prescribed. Depending on your medical condition and response to treatment, you should take Fludac 20 for the prescribed duration. In certain instances, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), headache, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, parched mouth, loss of appetite, and indigestion may occur. The majority of these side effects do not require medical intervention and will subside over time. However, if you experience these side effects frequently, you should consult your physician.

Please do not discontinue Fludac 20 on your own, as you may experience withdrawal symptoms. If you are pregnant or nursing, you should not take Fludac 20 without your doctor’s approval. Fludac 20 may cause dizziness and impede reaction time, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery while taking this medication. Fludac 20 should not be administered to minors younger than eight years old because its safety and efficacy have not been established. If you combine Fludac 20 and alcohol, you may experience more vertigo. To rule out any adverse effects, keep your doctor informed of your current health status and medications.
