What is the generic name for Prozac?

Prozac’s generic name is fluoxetine (brand-to-generic: Prozac → fluoxetine) [1].

What are the related generic names you might see?

You’ll usually see fluoxetine in different forms depending on the product, such as:
- Fluoxetine capsules/tablets (most common)
- Fluoxetine oral solution (liquid form)

The active ingredient name stays fluoxetine even when the dosage form changes [1].

Are there other drugs with similar uses but different generic names?

If you’re searching because Prozac isn’t working for you or isn’t tolerated, there are other antidepressants (with different generic names) that can be used for similar conditions, but they are not generic substitutes for Prozac. Prozac specifically corresponds to fluoxetine [1].

Where to verify on labels and packaging

On prescription bottles and medication labels, look for the active ingredient written as fluoxetine to confirm you’re getting the generic version of Prozac [1].
