Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCPRITION A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that is used in the treatment of DEPRESSION and a variety of ANXIETY DISORDERS.
TOXICITY Fluvoxamine is a member of antidepressants that possess an increased risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behaviour (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults (ages including and and below 24) in short-term studies of major depressive disorder and other psychiatric disorders [FDA Label].; ; Fluvoxamine maleate tablets are not approved for use in pediatric patients except for patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) [FDA Label].; ; Side effects include anorexia, constipation, dry mouth, headache, nausea, nervousness, skin rash, sleep problems, somnolence, liver toxicity, mania, increase urination, seizures, sweating increase, tremors, or Tourette's syndrome [FDA Label].
DESCRIPTION Fluvoxamine is an antidepressant belonging to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drug group.
Marketed formulations may contain fluvoxamine maleate (PubChem CID 9560989).

SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19: Evidence that is emerging from randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trials suggests that fluvoxamine may offer potential as a therapuetic for non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients. Multiple fluvoxamine mechanisms of action may be at play , and much remains to clarified about the patients who would benefit most, efficacy in infections with different SARS-CoV-2 variants, and whether fluvoxamine's effect occurs in addition to the benefit demonstrated by other therapies.

DESCRIPTION I1 selective ligand (Tocris Bioactive Compound Library)
DESCRIPTION Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (LOPAC library)
DESCRIPTION 5-HT re-uptake inhibitor (Tocriscreen Total)
DESCRIPTION Fluvoxamine is an antidepressant which functions pharmacologically as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. It is effective in inhibiting 5-ht uptake by blood platelets and brain synaptosomes. Fluvoxamine was less potent at decreasing ethanol self-administration when food was available concurrently versus when ethanol was available in isolation. (BOC Sciences Bioactive Compounds)
