Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor. Fluoxetine is usually taken once daily, in the morning (as it can affect sleep), with or without food, swallowed with water. It may take 2-4 weeks or more to feel the full benefit. Keep taking it. Do not change the dose or stop suddenly without medical advice, as stopping abruptly can cause withdrawal effects; your doctor will reduce it gradually.
This is a prescription medicine. Watch for and urgently report any worsening mood, agitation, or thoughts of self-harm, especially in the first weeks or in those under 25.

Tell your doctor about other medicines (especially other antidepressants, triptans, tramadol or blood thinners) due to interaction risks, and never combine with an MAOI.
