Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)
Mechanism of action
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)
Effects

Pharmacokinetics, Toxicities, Interactions
Half-lives from 15-74 h, oral activity, TOXICITY: well tolerated but cause sexual dysfunction, risk of serotonin syndrome with MAOs, INTERACTIONS: some CYP inhibition (fluoxetine 2D6, 3A4; fluvoxamine 1A2; paroxetine 2D6)
