Depression
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Bulimia nervosa
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
Flutine 20 belongs to the group of medicines called Serotonin
Selective
Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants.
How this medicine works?
Everyone has a substance called serotonin in their brain. People who
are
depressed or have obsessive compulsive disorder or bulimia nervosa
have
lower levels of serotonin than others. It is not fully understood how
Flutine 20
and other SSRIs work, but they may help by increasing the level of
serotonin
in the brain.
Treating these conditions is important to help you get better. If
it’s not treated,
your condition may not pass and may become more serious and more
difficult to treat.
You may need to be treated for a few weeks or months to ensure that
the
symptoms are gone.
