What is prozac?

Prozac is a brand name for fluoxetine, an antidepressant medication. It belongs to a class called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).

What it’s used for:

• Depression
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Panic disorder
• Bulimia nervosa
• Sometimes other conditions, depending on the country and clinical situation

How it works (in simple terms):
It increases the availability of serotonin in the brain, which can improve mood and reduce certain anxiety/obsessive symptoms.

If you tell me what you’re asking for—general info, how it works, side effects, or whether it’s safe for a specific situation—I can tailor the answer.
