Obsessive Compulsive Disorder comes in many forms,
any of which can overpower someone's life.
But LUVOX®
Tablets have proven effective in reducing
symptoms of OCD, and are widely prescribed for the condition.
LUVOX® Tablets should not be taken with the
monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors Nardil® (phenelzine) and Parnate® (tranylcypromine).
Additionally, similar to ketoconazole, LUVOX® Tablets should not be taken with
Propulsid® (cisapride), the antihistamines Seldane® (terfenadine) and Hismanal®
(astemizole), and other drugs eliminated through comparable metabolic pathways.
To prevent interaction, let your doctor and pharmacist know of any other
medication you may be taking. Side effects of nausea, difficulty sleeping, dry
mouth, nervousness, drowsiness, constipation, weakness, and abnormal ejaculation
may occur.

You may have more questions. A doctor will be able to answer many of your questions; additional literature on OCD is available in libraries and bookstores. There is also support. Throughout the country there are organizations that provide information and support for individuals with OCD and their family members and friends.
