Talk:Fluvoxamine

Yes, "reuptake" is a real word. Perhaps we should have an article on neurotransmitter reuptake? Karada 07:26 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Yup yup you guys can write an interesting article on that weird looking word =)) --Poor Yorick

Common-dosage information seems relevant to me. Thoughts? Tarka 07:33 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Citation needed

This:

"Although its effects are similar to other SSRIs, fluvoxamine has different pharmacological effects. For this reason, fluvoxamine can be of benefit to patients who experience unusual or limiting side-effects from other antidepressants. Fluvoxamine also appears to cause fewer side-effects than other SSRIs, particularly in relation to loss of sex-drive."

definitely needs a citation. Otherwise, this claim is only some PR try for fluvoxamine.--Spiperon 22:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I searched for this sentence on google and it is present on many pages (67). Don't have anything for definitive citation though. -- Amit 14:26, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

The primary pharmacological of SSRI are the same but the secondary pharmacological is different among SSRI. Please refer to the citation provided. Uniearth 11:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Any chance of getting an online abstract?Trilobitealive (talk) 22:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

"Sales fell, and Solvay withdrew the medication from the U.S. market in 2002 to prevent further investigation which might have revealed that at least one homicide had occurred among participants during Fluvoxamine's Phase III Clinical Trials prior to FDA approval." This also really needs a citation. I've tagged it for now. 98.220.2.29 (talk) 16:08, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup, references and WP:NPOV

I've been working on the drug interaction section plus some other cleanup here and there but other sections need attention, especially for references. Please be aware that there seems to be a general tendency to WP:SYN in this sort of article so we do need to take the time to document our sources. I put flagged two sections I think need references the most. I didn't flag the article with a POV notice as the prose could be a writing stylism. Or is it POV?Trilobitealive (talk) 22:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Historical relevance

I removed the historical relevance section, because it didn't cite the key claims (about Columbine and the alleged homicide during a trial). It can be put back with citations to reliable sources. Superm401 - Talk 20:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Manufacturers

The article as written seems to imply that Jazz and IVAX are the only manufacturers of both Fluvoxamine and Luvox. However, ANI Pharmaceuticals also manufactures both. [1] --64.77.218.74 (talk) 03:45, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Ciprofloxacine

Anyone aware of interactions with this antibiotic? Both are strong inhibitors of CYP1A2, and I don't know how they mess with each other. --201.67.57.101 (talk) 13:27, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Paedophilia

The reference that Fluvoxamine has been used to "treat" paedophilia strikes me as particularly odd. Since paedophilia is not a disease per se, it seems a little strange to say Fluvoxamine is used to treat it. Maybe some sort of qualification is in order. As an analogy, imagine if one were to write in the article on EST that it is commonly used to treat Homosexuailty. I am not questioning that there are paedophiles who are taking Fluvoxamine to try to adjust their psychology and sexuality, just that it seems strange to call it a "treatment" without first making the assumption that paraphilia are treatable medical conditions. 76.105.4.183 (talk) 06:36, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
