{"product_id":"vc-1508","title":"Fluoxetine HCl Capsule","description":"\u003cp\u003eFluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used in dogs and cats for the long-term management of behavioral disorders rooted in anxiety and reactivity. The veterinary brand Reconcile is FDA-approved for canine separation anxiety, and generic fluoxetine is also widely prescribed off-label for fear-based aggression, urine marking in cats, compulsive behaviors (tail chasing, lick granuloma, over-grooming), and storm phobia. Fluoxetine works by increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain, helping the patient stay below the threshold where reactive behaviors take over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fluoxetine is used for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon indications include canine separation anxiety (panic when left alone, destructive chewing, vocalization, indoor accidents despite house-training), generalized anxiety, fear-based reactivity toward people or other dogs, noise phobia, compulsive disorders, and feline house-soiling and urine marking. Fluoxetine is intended to be paired with a behavior-modification plan from your veterinarian or a board-certified veterinary behaviorist — medication alone rarely solves a behavior problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluoxetine is a daily medication and takes 4–8 weeks to reach full effect — owners often see only subtle changes in the first 2 weeks. Common early side effects include reduced appetite, lethargy, and mild GI upset, which usually resolve within the first 1–2 weeks. Less common effects include irritability, restlessness, or new-onset aggression — if your pet seems worse after starting fluoxetine, contact your veterinarian. Do not combine fluoxetine with other serotonergic drugs (trazodone, tramadol, MAOIs, selegiline) without veterinary direction; the combination can rarely cause serotonin syndrome. Do not stop fluoxetine abruptly after long-term use — taper under guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmarty Vets dispenses Reconcile chewable tablets and generic fluoxetine capsules and tablets, plus pharmacy-compounded liquids for cats and small dogs, all with a valid veterinary prescription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick \u003cstrong\u003eBuy on VetCove\u003c\/strong\u003e to order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fluoxetine","offers":[{"title":"10mg \/ 1 capsule","offer_id":51853074530535,"sku":"vc-1508-3444-7968","price":0.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mg \/ 20 capsules","offer_id":51855026716903,"sku":"vc-1508-3444-12296","price":11.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mg \/ 30 capsules","offer_id":51855026749671,"sku":"vc-1508-3444-12297","price":11.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mg \/ 60 capsules","offer_id":51855026782439,"sku":"vc-1508-3444-12298","price":12.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10mg \/ 100 capsules","offer_id":51855026815207,"sku":"vc-1508-3444-7969","price":14.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20mg \/ 1 capsule","offer_id":51855026847975,"sku":"vc-1508-3445-7970","price":0.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20mg \/ 20 capsules","offer_id":51855026880743,"sku":"vc-1508-3445-12299","price":11.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20mg \/ 30 capsules","offer_id":51855026913511,"sku":"vc-1508-3445-12300","price":11.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20mg \/ 60 capsules","offer_id":51855026946279,"sku":"vc-1508-3445-12301","price":12.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20mg \/ 100 capsules","offer_id":51855026979047,"sku":"vc-1508-3445-7971","price":13.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40mg \/ 1 capsule","offer_id":51855027011815,"sku":"vc-1508-3446-7972","price":0.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40mg \/ 30 capsules","offer_id":51855027044583,"sku":"vc-1508-3446-7973","price":12.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40mg \/ 90 capsules","offer_id":51855027077351,"sku":"vc-1508-3446-14291","price":18.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4387\/8119\/files\/100790-3651.webp?v=1774103812","url":"https:\/\/www.smartyvets.com\/products\/vc-1508","provider":"Smarty Vets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
