Description:
Flunil 40 Capsule is an antidepressant that belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) group of medicines. It is commonly prescribed to treat depression and other mental health conditions such as panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and bulimia nervosa. In cases of bulimia, it helps reduce binge-eating and purging behavior. Flunil 40 works by improving mood and relieving anxiety and tension, helping many individuals recover from depressive symptoms.
The dosage and frequency of Flunil 40 Capsule will be determined by your doctor to ensure you receive the appropriate amount to manage your condition. Typically, treatment may begin with a lower dose, which is gradually increased. It is important not to alter the dose or stop the medication without medical guidance, even if you start to feel better, as this can worsen your symptoms or lead to withdrawal effects such as anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, dizziness, or sleep disturbances.
For best results, take the medicine regularly at the same time each day. It may take a few weeks to notice an improvement, so inform your doctor if you don’t feel better after four weeks. Common side effects include nausea, indigestion, dry mouth, fatigue, appetite loss, increased sweating, sinusitis, insomnia, yawning, and vivid dreams. Sexual side effects like reduced libido, delayed ejaculation, or erectile dysfunction may also occur. If you experience any sudden mood changes or thoughts of self-harm, seek medical help immediately.
Before starting Flunil 40, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions like epilepsy, diabetes, liver or kidney problems, heart issues, or glaucoma. Also, disclose if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Let your doctor know about all other medications you are taking, especially other antidepressants or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), to avoid harmful interactions and ensure safe treatment.
