Flunil Capsule belongs to a group of antidepressant medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Flunil Capsule is used to treat major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bulimia nervosa (eating disorder), and panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. Flunil Capsule works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin by nerves, a mood-enhancing chemical messenger in the brain which communicates between brain cells. This helps in an increase in serotonin concentrations in the nerve synapse, thereby helps in regulating mood and treats depression. Flunil Capsule may also be used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (a severe form of premenstrual syndrome). Flunil Capsule has fewer unwanted effects than other antidepressant drugs. Flunil Capsule is used in combination with other drugs to treat bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression.
