This medication is typically prescribed for adults and children over the age of eight, depending on the condition being treated.

Patients should avoid abrupt discontinuation to prevent withdrawal symptoms and consult their doctor before stopping treatment. Flunam is contraindicated in individuals with hypersensitivity to Fluoxetine or those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Caution is advised in patients with a history of bipolar disorder, seizures, or liver impairment.
