Prozac (Fluoxetine)

Prozac, or fluoxetine, is a medication commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, and certain other mental health conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which work by increasing levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood. This can lead to improved emotional well-being and reduced feelings of sadness or anxiety. Prozac is typically taken as a daily pill and may take several weeks to show full effects. As with any medication, it’s important to discuss potential side effects and interactions with a healthcare provider.
