Fluoxetine hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that's used to treat various depressive psychiatric disorders, including mild or severe depression, depression in bipolar disorder, psychogenic depression, and depressive neurosis. It works by inhibiting the uptake of serotonin by neurons from the synaptic gap and increasing the actual availability of this neurotransmitter in the gap, which improves mood and treats depressive psychiatric disorders.
1.Antidepressant: Fluoxetine hydrochloride is primarily used as an antidepressant. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, by inhibiting its reuptake. By enhancing serotonin signaling, fluoxetine helps regulate mood and alleviate symptoms of depression.
2.Anxiety Disorders: Fluoxetine hydrochloride is also effective in treating various anxiety disorders, including panic disorder and OCD. It helps reduce anxiety symptoms by increasing serotonin levels and improving the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain.
3.Bulimia Nervosa: Fluoxetine hydrochloride is approved for the treatment of bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed by purging behaviors. It can help reduce the frequency of binge eating episodes and improve overall eating patterns.
4.Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): PMDD is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that causes significant distress and mood disturbances. Fluoxetine hydrochloride is prescribed to alleviate the emotional and physical symptoms associated with PMDD.
5.Off-Label Uses: Fluoxetine hydrochloride may be used off-label for other conditions, such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, and certain types of neuropathic pain.
