How To Use Fluvoxamine

Take fluvoxamine tablets by mouth once or twice a day as prescribed. The extended-release capsule is taken once daily at bedtime, with or without food.

Read the prescription label carefully and take fluvoxamine exactly as prescribed. Do not change the dose or dosing frequency or stop treatment without your health care provider’s approval.

If you are taking fluvoxamine extended-release capsules, swallow the capsules whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew them. 

Your healthcare provider may start you on a lower dose of fluvoxamine and gradually increase the dose. Follow your doctor’s dosing instructions carefully. It can take several weeks for you to get the full benefits of this medicine. This medicine works only as long as you continue taking it. Continue treatment with fluvoxamine even if you feel well. Stopping treatment suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms. If you want to come off fluvoxamine, your doctor will tell you how to slowly reduce the dose.

Missed dose: If you miss a dose of fluvoxamine, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose or extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.

Storage: Store fluvoxamine at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in its original container, tightly closed. Do not store medications in the bathroom where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep all medications safely out of reach of children and pets.

Unused medicine: Unused fluvoxamine should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw fluvoxamine in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to dispose of expired or unneeded fluvoxamine is through a drug take-back program. Learn more about proper medication disposal.
