Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Enhanced Efficacy in Higher Doses | The $40\text{mg}$ dose provides a stronger therapeutic effect, often necessary for patients who are partial responders to lower doses or for the specific management of Bulimia Nervosa. |
| Supports Behavioral Control | Particularly effective in reducing the severity and frequency of binge-eating and purging episodes in patients suffering from Bulimia Nervosa. |
| Mood and Anxiety Reduction | Effectively reduces the core symptoms of depression, including profound sadness and hopelessness, and lowers the frequency of debilitating panic attacks. |
| Long Half-Life | Fluoxetine's long half-life provides a stable therapeutic drug level and makes the treatment regimen more forgiving of occasional missed doses. |
⚠️ Important Safety Note: Psychotropic Medication (SSRI)
Black Box Warning (Suicidality): Like all $\text{SSRI}$s, Fluoxetine may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults, especially when starting treatment or changing doses. Patients must be closely monitored for clinical worsening.
Prescription & Monitoring: This is a prescription medication requiring regular follow-up with a doctor or psychiatrist.
Do Not Stop Abruptly: Discontinuation must be gradual and supervised to avoid withdrawal symptoms (discontinuation syndrome).
Serotonin Syndrome: Be aware of the risk of Serotonin Syndrome, especially when combined with other serotonergic drugs (e.g., MAOIs, Triptans).
