$10.08

Fluoxetine Hydrochloride is a prescription SSRI antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, bulimia nervosa, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, helping regulate mood, sleep, and behavior. Prozac may be used alone or with other medications, such as olanzapine, for treatment-resistant depression, with full effects often taking several weeks.
