Description |
Fluvoxamine maleate is an SSRI with a specific focus on treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and panic disorder. It acts by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, leading to improved mood and alleviation of symptoms associated with these mental health conditions. It is important for individuals to use this medication under the guidance of a healthcare provider and be aware of potential side effects. |

The majority of these adverse events were mild to moderate and, with the exception of dry mouth (imipramine) and abnormal ejaculation (fluvoxamine), were transient. The data clearly demonstrate the antidepressant activity and tolerability of fluvoxamine maleate (50-150 mg/day) as compared with placebo; it is also as effective as the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine (80-240 mg/day) in patients with major depressive disorder.
The pharmacokinetics of fluvoxamine after single oral administration of 25, 50, and 100 mg fluvoxamine maleate was studied in a three-way cross-over study in 12 healthy male subjects.
The recovery and coefficient of variation from six placebo tablets containing 100 mg of fluvoxamine maleate were 100.56% and 0.439% respectively. Relicate regression analyses of three standard plots in the concentration range of 0.5–12 mcg/ml obtained on three different days gave a correlation coefficient > 0.9997 and the coefficient of variation of the slopes < 0.1%.
