Much like any other generic drug, generic Prozac (Fluoxetine) is biologically equal to the brand Prozac and it is simply manufactured and sold at lower price. Generic Prozac is actually equivalent to brand Prozac in its efficiency, strength, dosage, ingredients, safety and intended use.
Clinical studies have shown that people with depression have an imbalance of the brain's neurotransmitters which are the chemicals that allow nerve cells in the brain to communicate with each other. An imbalance in serotonin, one of these neurotransmitters, is a key factor in the development and severity of depression.
Prozac helps to correct this imbalance by increasing the levels of serotonin available in the taker's brain. By doing so, Prozac helps to control the symptoms of depression, allowing people to return to normal daily functioning.
