Fluvoxamine ER

Drug Details

Fluvoxamine is a medication primarily used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in adults and children aged 8 and older. It belongs to a group of medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, fluvoxamine helps alleviate OCD symptoms. Typically, it is taken orally once or twice a day, depending on the prescribed form, either immediate-release or extended-release. While effective, fluvoxamine may cause side effects such as nausea, sleep disturbances, and headaches. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice before starting any new medication.
