Fluoxetine

Fluoxetine is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It is commonly known by the brand name Prozac and is used to treat depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, and other mental health conditions. Fluoxetine works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps regulate mood, emotions, and behavior. It is typically taken orally in the form of a capsule or tablet.
