Fluvoxamine (sold as Luvox®, Faverin®, Fevarin® and Dumyrox®) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. It is used primarily to treat depression, anxiety and OCD.
Although its effects are similar to other SSRIs, fluvoxamine has different pharmacological effects. For this reason, fluvoxamine can be of benefit to patients who experience unusual or limiting side-effects from other antidepressants. Fluvoxamine also appears to cause fewer side-effects than other SSRIs, particularly in relation to loss of sex-drive.
Fluvoxamine has the shortest half-life of all the SSRIs. Its mean serum half-life is 15 hours after a single dose, and 17 to 22 hours after repeated doses.
