It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to stop taking the medication abruptly without consulting a healthcare professional. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss the use of this medication with their doctor.

Fluoxetine Hydrochloride can interact with other medications, including MAO inhibitors, NSAIDs, and certain antidepressants.
