This drug is mainly used as an antidepressant for the treatment of psychiatric disorders such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. During the use of this medication, especially in young patients aged 18 to 24, the risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviors may increase, thus patients and their guardians should carefully monitor symptoms. Additionally, this medication can cause a serious side effect known as serotonin syndrome, which can lead to abnormal symptoms in the nervous and autonomic nervous systems, so if related symptoms occur, immediate consultation with a doctor is needed. This drug should not be taken with certain types of medications known as MAO inhibitors, as life-threatening side effects can occur when used in combination. Interactions can also occur when taken with other medications, particularly those that enhance serotonin activity, so caution is required when combined with these drugs. Patients with severely impaired liver function or those with hypersensitivity to this drug should not take it, and those with slightly impaired liver function should take it with caution. Patients with epilepsy may have an increased risk of seizures, hence they should take this medication under strict medical supervision.
