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.
