Prozac (Fluoxetine) is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. Prozac (Fluoxetine) is approved for the treatment of clinical depression (including pediatric depression), obsessive-compulsive disorder (in both adult and pediatric populations), bulimia nervosa, panic disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Other indications include hypochondriasis and body dysmorphic disorder. Despite the availability of newer agents, it remains extremely popular.
Prozac (Fluoxetine) has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of clinical depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa and panic disorder. Prozac (Fluoxetine) was shown to be effective for depression in 6-week long double-blind controlled trials where it also alleviated anxiety and improved sleep. Prozac (Fluoxetine) was better than placebo for the prevention of depression recurrence when the patients, who originally responded to Prozac (Fluoxetine), were treated for a further 38 weeks. Efficacy of Prozac (Fluoxetine) for geriatric as well as pediatric depression was also demonstrated placebo-controlled trials.
OCD was successfully treated by Prozac (Fluoxetine) in two adult and one pediatric placebo-controlled 13-week trials. The higher doses of Prozac (Fluoxetine) appeared to result in better response, while the reverse relationship was observed in the treatment of depression.[9] Prozac (Fluoxetine) dramatically, by 40-50%, decreased the frequency of panic attacks in two controlled trials of panic disorder patients. In three double-blind trials Prozac (Fluoxetine) significantly decreased the number of binge-eating and purging episodes of bulimia nervosa. Continued year-long treatment of the patients, who originally responded to Prozac (Fluoxetine), was more effective than placebo for the prevention of bulimia nervosa episodes.
