What Is Fluoxetine 40mg?
Fluoxetine is the generic version of Prozac, a widely prescribed SSRI antidepressant. It works by increasing the availability of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the brain that helps regulate mood, anxiety, and behavior. The 40mg capsule is a common maintenance strength taken once daily. Because fluoxetine is prescription-only, you cannot buy it over the counter — but with a valid prescription, the generic is typically inexpensive even without insurance.
