How should this medicine be used?
Prozac should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Prozac usually is taken once or twice a day. To be effective, it should be taken regularly. Make a habit of taking it at the same
time you do some other daily activity.
It may be 4 weeks before you feel any relief from your depression, but the drug's effects should last about 9 months after a 3-month treatment regimen
. For obsessive-compulsive disorder, the full effect may take 5 weeks to appear.

Other medical problems
Older adults¡XMany medicines have not been tested in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults or if they cause different side effec
s or problems in older people. In studies done to date that included elderly people, Prozac did not cause different side effects or problems in older people than it did in younger adults.
