Medicinal Benefits:

Flumeg 20 mg Capsule belongs to a group of antidepressant medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Flumeg 20 mg Capsule is used to treat major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bulimia nervosa (eating disorder), and panic disorder with or without agoraphobia.
