Fluoxetine is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor class. It is manufactured and marketed by Eli Lilly and Company. In combination with olanzapine it is known as symbyax. Fluoxetine is approved for the treatment of major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, panic disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

Fluoxetine has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of major depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa and panic disorder. Fluoxetine was shown to be effective for depression in 6-week long double-blind controlled trials, where it also alleviated anxiety and improved sleep. Fluoxetine was better than placebo for the prevention of depression recurrence when the patients, who originally responded to fluoxetine, were treated for a further 38 weeks.
