Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults: Monitor for clinical worsening and suicidal thinking and behavior (5.1)

Serotonin Syndrome: Serotonin syndrome has been reported with SSRIs and SNRIs, including fluoxetine, both when taken alone, but especially when co-administered with other serotonergic agents. If such symptoms occur, discontinue fluoxetineand serotonergic agents and initiate supportive treatment. If concomitant use of fluoxetine with other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, patients should be made aware of a potential increased risk for serotonin syndrome, particularly during treatment initiation and dose increases (5.2)

Allergic Reactions and Rash: Discontinue upon appearance of rash or allergic phenomena (5.3)

Activation of Mania/Hypomania: Screen for Bipolar Disorder and monitor for mania/hypomania (5.4)

Seizures: Use cautiously in patients with a history of seizures or with conditions that potentially lower the seizure threshold (5.5)

Altered Appetite and Weight: Significant weight loss has occurred (5.6)

Increased Risk of Bleeding: May increase the risk of bleeding. Use with NSAIDs, aspirin, warfarin, or other drugs that affect coagulation may potentiate the risk of gastrointestinal or other bleeding (5.7)

Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Angle-closure glaucoma has occurred in patients with untreated anatomically narrow angles treated with antidepressants (5.8)

Hyponatremia: Has been reported with fluoxetine in association with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Consider discontinuing if symptomatic hyponatremia occurs (5.9)

Anxiety and Insomnia: May occur (5.10)

QT Prolongation: QT prolongation and ventricular arrhythmia including Torsades de Pointes have been reported with fluoxetine use. Use with caution in conditions that predispose to arrhythmias or increased fluoxetine exposure. Use cautiously in patients with risk factors for QT prolongation (4.2, 5.11)

Potential for Cognitive and Motor Impairment: Has potential to impair judgment, thinking, and motor skills. Use caution when operating machinery (5.13)

Long Half-Life: Changes in dose will not be fully reflected in plasma for several weeks (5.14)

Fluoxetine and Olanzapine in Combination: When using fluoxetine and olanzapine in combination, also refer to the Warnings and Precautions section of the package insert for Symbyax (5.16)

Sexual Dysfunction: Fluoxetine may cause symptoms of sexual dysfunction (5.17)

CNS Acting Drugs: Caution should be used when taken in combination with other centrally acting drugs (7.2)

Benzodiazepines: Diazepam - increased t½, alprazolam – further psychomotor performance decrement due to increased levels (7.7)

Antipsychotics: Potential for elevation of haloperidol and clozapine levels (7.7)

Anticonvulsants: Potential for elevated phenytoin and carbamazepine levels and clinical anticonvulsant toxicity (7.7)

Serotonergic Drugs: (2.9, 2.10, 4.1, 5.2)

Drugs that Interfere with Hemostasis (e.g., NSAIDs, Aspirin, Warfarin): May potentiate the risk of bleeding (7.4)

Drugs Tightly Bound to Plasma Proteins: May cause a shift in plasma concentrations (7.6, 7.7)

Olanzapine: When used in combination with fluoxetine, also refer to the Drug Interactions section of the package insert for Symbyax (7.7)

Drugs that Prolong the QT Interval: Do not use fluoxetine with thioridazine or pimozide. Use with caution in combination with other drugs that prolong the QT interval (4.2, 5.11, 7.7, 7.8)

Use In Specific Populations

Pregnancy: SSRI use, particularly later in pregnancy, may increase risk for persistent pulmonary hypertension and symptoms of poor adaptation (respiratory distress, temperature instability, feeding difficulty, hypotonia, tremor, irritability) in the neonate (8.1)

Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of fluoxetine in patients <8 years of age with Major Depressive Disorder and <7 years of age with OCD have not been established. Safety and effectiveness of fluoxetine and olanzapine in combination in patients <10 years of age for depressive episodes associated with Bipolar I Disorder have not been established (8.4)
