Fluoxetine Nikomed

Fluoxetine is a drug from the group of selective inhibitors of neuronal transport of serotonin. Named after Richard O. Floyd, who discovered it. Antidepressant with high selective activity. Used to treat major depressive disorder, panic disorder and other mental disorders.

Preparations with the active ingredient "Fluoxetine" can be obtained without a prescription, since Fluoxetine is included in the list of over-the-counter drugs in a number of countries. This property is explained by the fact that the drug is generally well tolerated, and unpleasant side effects can usually be corrected without switching to prescription medications.

Previously, it was generally accepted that antidepressants should only be used by people with serious mental illness. The same approach existed to the treatment of patients with postpartum depression. However, postpartum depression is now considered quite common.
