Description

General Information:

Flunil, containing the active ingredient fluoxetine, is available in 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg oral capsules. This therapeutic drug is commonly prescribed for treating patients with major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and panic disorder. As a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), fluoxetine works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which can help enhance mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. In addition to these uses, Flunil is also effective in managing conditions such as bulimia nervosa and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Flunil must be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional, with the dosage adjusted according to the patient’s specific needs and response to therapy.

Dosage and Side Effects: 

For Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), fluoxetine is typically initiated at a recommended dose of 20 mg per day. Depending on the patient’s response and tolerability, the dosage can be gradually increased, with the highest recommended dose being 80 mg per day for treating MDD. For those with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), fluoxetine usually starts at 20 mg daily, with a maintenance dose that generally falls between 20 mg and 60 mg per day. In the treatment of Panic Disorder, the starting dose is often lower, beginning at 10 mg daily. After the first week, the dose can be adjusted to 20 mg per day, with the maximum recommended dose for managing panic disorder being 60 mg daily. These dosage adjustments allow healthcare providers to tailor treatment based on individual patient needs and responses, ensuring both efficacy and safety in managing these conditions.

The most commonly reported side effects of Fluoxetine Capsules are fatigue, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, dry mouth, insomnia, and headache.

Warning and Precautions

  • Fluoxetine should only be prescribed during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to the developing fetus. Using fluoxetine in late pregnancy may increase the risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns (PPHN). Infants exposed to fluoxetine during the third trimester should be closely observed for issues such as breathing difficulties, cyanosis, and challenges in feeding.
  • The safety and effectiveness of using fluoxetine alongside electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) have not been conclusively determined. There have been instances where patients on fluoxetine have experienced prolonged seizures during ECT sessions. Careful consideration and caution are advised if ECT is deemed necessary for such patients.
  • Fluoxetine treatment has been linked to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Patients should be instructed to stop taking the medication and seek immediate medical attention if they develop a rash or other symptoms indicative of an allergic reaction.
  • Antidepressants like fluoxetine can sometimes induce mania or hypomania in individuals with bipolar disorder. Fluoxetine should be administered with caution in patients with a history of manic episodes, and any sudden mood changes should be reported to a healthcare professional promptly.
  • Anxiety, agitation, and insomnia may worsen during the early stages of fluoxetine treatment. It is important to monitor patients for these symptoms, and adjustments to the dosage may be required to manage these effects.
  • Fluoxetine 10 mg/20 mg/40 mg oral capsules may trigger an angle-closure glaucoma attack in individuals with narrow-angle glaucoma. A thorough eye examination is recommended before starting treatment, and patients at risk should be monitored closely throughout the treatment.
  • There is a risk of hyponatremia associated with fluoxetine, particularly in elderly patients or those taking diuretics. Symptoms such as headaches, confusion, seizures, or fainting should be reported to a healthcare provider, and regular monitoring of sodium levels is advised.
  • Fluoxetine has been linked to QT interval prolongation, which could lead to serious and potentially fatal arrhythmias like Torsades de Pointes. Patients with pre-existing heart conditions or those taking other medications that affect the QT interval should use fluoxetine with caution.
  • Treatment with Flunil capsules may impair cognitive and motor functions. Patients should be warned against engaging in activities requiring full alertness, such as driving or operating heavy machinery until they are sure that the medication does not adversely affect their ability to perform these tasks safely.
  • Sexual side effects, including reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, and delayed ejaculation, are common with fluoxetine. Patients should be made aware of these potential issues and encouraged to discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider.
