It is also used to manage bulimia nervosa and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Flunil is prescribed under medical supervision, with dosage tailored to the patient’s condition and response to treatment.

Warning and Precautions

  • Fluoxetine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Newborns exposed to fluoxetine in the third trimester should be monitored for complications such as respiratory distress, cyanosis, and feeding difficulties.
  • The safety and efficacy of concurrent use of fluoxetine with electroconvulsive therapy have not been established. There are reports of prolonged seizures in patients on fluoxetine undergoing ECT. Caution is advised if ECT is necessary.
  • Treatment with this therapeutic drug has been associated with serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, angioedema, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Patients should be advised to discontinue the medication if they develop a rash or other signs of an allergic reaction, and seek medical attention immediately.
