    Question about 5 years ago

    Is Flumusa habit forming?

    Dr. Yogesh Kumar MBBS , General Physician

    No, Flumusa is non-habit forming and non-addictive when taken as prescribed by the doctor. However, since it lessens the depression, a user may feel good about himself and then he might take more doses and take doses more frequently to enhance that feeling of well-being. Gradually, this might lead to dependence. Therefore, it is imperative that one takes Flumusa strictly under the recommendations of a doctor.  

    Question about 5 years ago

    How does Flumusa work?

    Dr. Ramraj Meena MBBS , General Physician

    Flumusa is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It selectively inhibits the reuptake of serotonin which increases the concentration of serotonin in the central nervous system (CNS) that helps maintain mental balance. This results in many functional changes and alleviation of depression.
