Description
Flux 20mg Capsule 14s
Flux 20mg Capsule contains Fluoxetine 20mg, a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant used under medical supervision for the treatment of major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), and bulimia nervosa. Fluoxetine increases serotonin availability in the brain to help regulate mood, behaviour, and anxiety.
Important Safety Information: Fluoxetine carries an FDA Black Box Warning for increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviour in patients under 25 years. Monitor closely, especially in the first weeks of therapy. Do not use with MAOIs — a minimum 14-day washout period is required before or after MAOI use due to the risk of serotonin syndrome (a potentially life-threatening reaction). Do not stop abruptly — taper under medical supervision to avoid discontinuation symptoms. Fluoxetine has a long half-life (5–6 days); sexual dysfunction, nausea, and insomnia are common side effects.
A valid prescription is required. Use only under the guidance of a licensed healthcare professional. Explore our general medicines collection or tablets and capsules for related prescription products. Available with discreet delivery across Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and all of Pakistan.

FAQs
What is Flux 20mg Capsule used for?
It is prescribed for major depressive disorder, OCD, panic disorder, generalised anxiety, and bulimia nervosa. It is a prescription-only SSRI antidepressant.
Is there a suicide risk warning with Fluoxetine?
Yes. The FDA Black Box Warning states that antidepressants including Fluoxetine increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behaviour in patients under 25 years. Close monitoring is essential, especially in the first weeks of treatment.
Can Fluoxetine be taken with other medicines?
Do NOT combine with MAOIs (a minimum 14-day washout is required). Fluoxetine interacts with many drugs — always declare all medicines to your doctor. Serotonin syndrome is a serious risk when combined with other serotonergic agents.
What happens if I stop Fluoxetine suddenly?
Abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal symptoms (dizziness, irritability, flu-like feelings). Always taper the dose gradually under your doctor's supervision.
