Overview Fluz OD Tablet

Deprexa, an SSRI antidepressant, effectively manages depression and related conditions such as panic and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It improves mood, reduces anxiety, and alleviates tension, aiding recovery from depressive episodes. Additionally, it's prescribed for bulimia nervosa, helping to curb binge eating and purging behaviors. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician to optimize symptom control, often beginning with a low dose gradually increased. Never alter or discontinue Deprexa without consulting your doctor; abrupt cessation can worsen your condition or trigger withdrawal symptoms (including anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, dizziness, sleep disturbances). For optimal results, take it consistently at the same time daily. Significant improvement may take several weeks; inform your doctor if no progress is observed after a month. Common side effects include nausea, indigestion, dry mouth, fatigue, appetite changes, sweating, sinusitis, sleep disturbances, yawning, and unusual dreams. Decreased libido, delayed ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction are also possible. Report any sudden mood worsening or suicidal thoughts immediately. Prior to commencing Deprexa, disclose any epilepsy, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, heart conditions, or glaucoma to your doctor, as these may influence treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals require prior medical consultation. Interactions may occur with other medications, particularly other antidepressants and MAO inhibitors; therefore, provide a complete medication list to your physician to ensure safety.
