Prozac side effects profile

The most widely known SSRIs are fluoxetine hydrochloride (4, Prozac , Lilly), sertraline hydrochloride (5, Zoloft , Pfizer) and paroxetine hydrochloride (6, Paxil , GSK). Fluoxetine (4, Prozac ) was the first SSRl approved and effected a revolutionary change in the treatment of depression. In 2000, it was the most widely prescribed antidepressant drug in the United States with worldwide sales of 2.58B. Sertraline (5, Zoloft ) has been available in the United States since 1992 and had worldwide sales of 2.14B in 2000. Compared to fluoxetine (4), it has a shorter duration of action and fewer CNS activating side-effects such as nervousness and anxiety. Paroxetine (6, Paxil ) generated worldwide sales of 2.35B in 2000 and has a relatively benign side-effect profile, which favors its use with elderly patients. [Pg.128]
