IS PROZAC AVAILABLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES?
Posted by admin under Anti Depressants-Sleeping Aid | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
Patients taking Prozac outside the United States should have a signed note from their American physician explaining what the medication is and what it Is being used for, as required by customs. Prozac is available in many countries under foreign trade names. If the term “Prozac” is not used in a given country, the generic name fluoxetine should be used instead.
If the patient talks to a pharmacy or physician ahead of time, a courier package of Prozac can be delivered within twenty-four to seventy-two hours to most major cities of the world.
There is no need to be unduly concerned about hot weather, mild dehydration, or skipping an occasional meal (as one should be with lithium), none of which should cause any unusual symptoms with Prozac. However, normal food, fluid, and salt intake are required and should be maintained.
What percentage of patients take Prozac for disorders other than depression? Approximately a third. This percentage is gaining steadily with the recent publicity about Prozac’s effectiveness in treating patients with nondepressive disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia, and personality disorders.
