Fluoxetine hydrochloride

Description	Fluoxetine HCl, a specific inhibitor of serotonin re-uptake in brain, are less sensitive to electroshock. Fluoxetine HCl antagonizes the hyperalgesia following injections of p-chlorophenylalanine and potentiates morphine analgesia. Naloxone blocks the analgesia following morphine, but has no effect on Fluoxetine HCl-induced analgesia. Brain serotonin neurons may, at least in part, mediate analgesia [1]. Administration of fluoxetine (10 mg/kg, i.p.) alone also decreased the number of spontaneously active serotonergic neurons. However, when administered following fluoxetine, pindolol significantly attenuated, but did not block completely, the inhibitory effects of fluoxetine on the number of spontaneously active serotonergic neurons. These results indicate that pindolol can attenuate the effects of fluoxetine on the firing of serotonergic neurons. These results may help explain the varying efficacy of pindolol in clinical trials with SSRIs.
