Cooperation.

Incompatible with MAO inhibitors, other antidepressants, furazolidonom, procarbazine, tk. cause serotonergic syndrome (chills, hyperthermia, muscle stiffness, myoclonus, vegetative lability, hypertensive crisis, excitation, tremor, restlessness, convulsions, diarrhea, elated state, delirium, coma; possible death. When concomitantly with drugs, having a high degree of binding to plasma proteins (oral anticoagulants, oral hypoglycemics, cardiac glycosides, and others.), possible mutual displacement of the connection with the concentration of the protein-free fraction of blood, the risk of side effects increases. Increased risk of bleeding in patients receiving warfarin. Inhibits biotransformation of drugs, metabolized with the participation of the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP2D6 (tricyclic antidepressants, dextromethorphan, vynblastyn, Carbamazepine). Lengthens T_1/2 diazepama, potentiates the effects of alprazolam. At simultaneous reception changes (increases or decreases) lithium concentration in blood plasma, increases the concentration of phenytoin (to the clinical manifestations of overdose); levels of tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine, desipramine) increases 2-10 times. Tryptophan enhances the serotonergic properties of fluoxetine (possible agitation, restlessness, dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract). Incompatible with ethanol.

Overdose.

Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, excitation, anxiety, hypomania, convulsions, grand mal seizures. Described two deaths from acute overdose of fluoxetine (in combination with maprotilinom, Codeine, temazepamom).

Treatment: gastric lavage, administration of activated charcoal, sorʙita, ECG monitoring, symptomatic and supportive therapy, if convulsions - diazepam. No specific antidote. Forced diuresis, pyeritonyealinyi dialysis, hemodialysis, blood transfusions are ineffective.

Dosing and Administration.

Inside, while eating, 1-2 reception (mainly in the first half of the day). Starting and maintenance doses 20 mg / day. If necessary, increase the dose weekly in the 20 mg / day. The maximum daily dose - 80 mg, Patient elderly - 60 mg. The course of treatment - 3-4 weeks, at obsessivno-kompulʹsivnyh condition - 5 weeks or more, bulimia nervosa - 1 Sun.

Precautions.

With care given to the elderly, cardiovascular diseases, failure of the liver and / or kidney. Careful monitoring of patients with suicidal tendencies, especially at the beginning of treatment. Most high risk of suicide in patients, previously treated with other antidepressants, and patients, who during treatment with fluoxetine noted excessive fatigue, hypersomnia, or restlessness. In the treatment of patients with low body weight should be considered anorectic properties of fluoxetine. During the electroconvulsive therapy in patients receiving fluoxetine possible prolonged seizures. The interval between the cancellation and the beginning of MAO inhibitors fluoxetine should be more 2 Sun, and between the cancellation of fluoxetine and MAO inhibitors intake - at least 5 Sun. Be wary of the drivers of vehicles and people, activities which require high concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions. During treatment should avoid alcohol.
