Description

Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is prescribed to treat a variety of behavioral problems caused by separation anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It works by increasing the effectiveness of serotonin in the brain, which aids in the management of anxiety and depression. The FDA has approved this drug for use in dogs to treat canine separation anxiety. It may take several weeks before you and your veterinarian can decide if this medicine is working as desired.

Key Benefits

  • Helps with obsessive compulsive behaviors such as tail chasing in dogs, or constant licking in dogs and cats, and other behavioral disorders which are otherwise common causes for veterinary visits
  • Easy to administer

How it works

Fluoxetine affects chemicals in the brain that can cause depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

Indications

Fluoxetine is indicated for the treatment of:

  • Acute and maintenance treatment of Major Depressive Disorder.
  • Acute and maintenance treatment of obsessions and compulsions in patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
  • Acute and maintenance treatment of binge-eating and vomiting behaviors in patients with moderate to severe Bulimia Nervosa.
  • Acute treatment of Panic Disorder, with or without agoraphobia.

Fluoxetine monotherapy is not indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes associated with Bipolar I Disorder or the treatment of treatment resistant depression.

Directions

  • Fluoxetine is an antidepressant drug in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI).
  • Fluoxetine is available by prescription and is used to treat separation anxiety and obsessive compulsive behaviors in dogs and inappropriate elimination in cats.

Tip: Do not give larger amounts or give for longer than recommended by your veterinarian. It may take 3 to 4 weeks or longer before Fluoxetine takes effect. Do not stop Fluoxetine without first consulting with your veterinarian.

FAQ

Fluoxetine is an anti-depressant used by Veterinarians in dogs and cats for obsessive compulsive disorders, aggression and separation anxiety.

Fluoxetine Oral Solution is effective in:

  • Treatment of both dogs and cats
  • Behavior that is obsessive compulsive
  • The treatment of separation anxiety
  • Treating aggressive behavior
Anti-anxiety medication can lead to a phenomenon known as "disinhibition." This means the consequences of aggressive behavior are removed, therefore leading to a reduction in the animal's inhibitions about said behavior. Animals not exhibiting aggressive behavior could exhibit aggressive behavior while taking this medication.
