Take the worry out of life with Prozac

Prozac is one of the world's most popular anti-depressants, having been prescribed for more than 54 million people

People with depression have an imbalance of the brain's neurotransmitters, the chemicals that allow nerve cells in the brain to communicate with each other. Many scientists believe that an imbalance in serotonin, one of these neurotransmitters, may be an important factor in the development and severity of depression.

Prozac tackles this imbalance by increasing the brain's own supply of serotonin.

Some other anti-depressant medicines appear to affect several neurotransmitters in addition to serotonin. Prozac selectively affects only serotonin.

Dosages:
Typical doses are 20mg once or twice daily.

Caution:
As with most anti-depressants, Prozac could interfere with other anti-depressants, particularly MAO inhibitors (including Gerovital-H3®) and other SSRIs (such as Paxil®). Therefore, if you wish to combine Prozac with any other anti-depressants, you must only do so under the guidance of a physician.
