About Fuloct-20 Tablet
Fuloct-20 Tablet contains Fluoxetine 20 mg — the prototypical and best-studied SSRI. Standard starting and maintenance dose for major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, panic disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
Distinctive among SSRIs for its long half-life (4–6 days for parent drug, 1–2 weeks for active metabolite norfluoxetine) — reducing discontinuation syndrome risk and providing tolerance to missed doses. Approved for adolescent depression. Onset of antidepressant effect typically 2–4 weeks.
Manufactured by Trumac Healthcare under WHO-GMP. Available for monopoly-based PCD pharma franchise and third-party manufacturing.
Indications
- Major depressive disorder (adult and adolescent)
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Bulimia nervosa
- Panic disorder
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
Mechanism of Action
Fluoxetine selectively inhibits presynaptic serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT), increasing synaptic serotonin availability. Active metabolite norfluoxetine extends duration of action. Minimal anticholinergic, antihistaminic, or alpha-blocking effects vs tricyclics.
Dosage & Administration
Adults: 20 mg once daily in morning. Increase to 40–60 mg if needed after 3–4 weeks. OCD/Bulimia: 60 mg/day typical.
Side Effects
Nausea, insomnia, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, headache. Discontinuation syndrome rare due to long half-life.
