The primary ingredient in Cozac is Fluoxetine, which is utilized to alleviate symptoms such as depression (including in children), bulimia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, panic disorder, and more. Cozac is classified as an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor).
Cozac operates by influencing brain chemicals. It remains widely prescribed for the aforementioned symptoms, despite the introduction of newer medications with similar formulations.
Doctors and pharmacists frequently recommend Cozac as an antidepressant. It addresses various issues, including major depression in both adults and children, obsessive-compulsive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), bulimia nervosa, anxiety, and panic attacks.
Cozac should only be taken following the consultation and advice of a healthcare professional. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions when taking this medication. Cozac should be taken with a sufficient amount of water and should not be chewed or crushed.
The medication usually takes about four weeks to begin demonstrating its effects. If you feel unwell or experience any negative reactions after taking Cozac, contact your doctor immediately. Do not stop taking Cozac without your doctor’s consent.
Cozac may cause side effects such as allergic reactions including swelling of the face, mouth, tongue, or lips, skin rashes, and difficulty breathing. It can also lead to behavioral changes—such as mood swings, panic attacks, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or tendencies, depression, hyperactivity, and agitation. Other severe side effects may include blistering and peeling skin, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite, reduced sex drive, and difficulties in achieving orgasm or impotence.
Cozac should be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature and kept out of reach of children and pets.
