Fluvoxamine - 50 mg (30 Tablets)

Only take Fluvoxamine for off label purposes on the advice of a physician.

Fluvoxamine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).

Fluvoxamine is used to treat symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults and children at least 8 years old.

You should not take fluvoxamine if you are allergic to it.

Do not use fluvoxamine within 14 days before or 14 days after you have taken an MAO inhibitor. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue injection, phenelzine, tranylcypromine, and others.

Some drugs should not be used with fluvoxamine. Your treatment plan may change if you also use:

• alosetron;
• ramelteon;
• thioridazine; or
• tizanidine.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

• bipolar disorder (manic depression);
• a seizure;
• glaucoma;
• liver or kidney disease;
• heart disease, high blood pressure, or a stroke;
• bleeding problems; or
• low levels of sodium in your blood (an electrolyte imbalance).

Some young people have thoughts about suicide when first taking this medicine. Your doctor should check your progress at regular visits. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms.

Tell your doctor if you also take stimulant medicine, opioid medicine, herbal products, or medicine for depression, mental illness, Parkinson's disease, migraine headaches, serious infections, or prevention of nausea and vomiting. An interaction with fluvoxamine could cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome.

Taking this medicine during pregnancy could harm the baby, but stopping the medicine may not be safe for you. Do not start or stop fluvoxamine without asking your doctor.
