Overview F 20 Tablet

Fluoxetine 20mg tablets are an SSRI antidepressant frequently used to manage depression and related conditions such as panic attacks and obsessive-compulsive disorder. This medication alleviates depressive symptoms by improving mood and reducing anxiety. It's also indicated for bulimia nervosa, helping to curb binge-purge cycles. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician to optimize symptom control, often starting with a lower dose gradually increased. Never alter your prescription or discontinue use without consulting your doctor; abrupt cessation can worsen your condition or trigger withdrawal (e.g., anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, dizziness, sleep disturbances). For maximum benefit, take the medication consistently at the same time daily. Significant improvement may take several weeks. If no improvement is seen after a month, inform your doctor. Side effects can include nausea, indigestion, dry mouth, fatigue, appetite changes, sweating, sinusitis, insomnia, yawning, unusual dreams, and decreased libido, delayed ejaculation, or erectile dysfunction. Report any sudden mood deterioration or suicidal thoughts immediately. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any epilepsy, diabetes, liver/kidney impairment, cardiac issues, or glaucoma, as these may influence treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals require medical consultation. Interactions may occur with other antidepressants or MAO inhibitors; inform your doctor of all medications you're currently using for safe usage.
