What Form Does Medication Come In? Capsules

Dose and Administration: Capsules are sold individually in strengths of 10, 20, and 40 mg.

Possible Side Effects:

  • The most common side effects of Fluoxetine use are drowsiness or lethargy.
  • Gastrointestinal upset or reduced appetite are also possible.
  • Pet parents should understand the phenomenon of "disinhibition" in animals treated with anti-anxiety drugs. This condition causes the inhibitions of the animal to become reduced, particularly where aggression is concerned. When the pet is no longer anxious about the potential consequences of bad behavior, previously docile animals may become aggressive suddenly when taking this or any other anti-anxiety drug.

    Precautions:
    Do not give Fluoxetine to pets:

  • Under 6 months old
  • On any MAOI medications
  • With Fluoxetine allergies
  • With a seizure history, or who are taking medications that can lower the seizure threshold

    Administer cautiously to pets:

  • With diabetes mellitus
  • With serious liver disease

    Storage Recommendations: Store in a cool and dry location.

    In Case of Overdose: Call your nearest emergency pet hospital.
