Fluoxetine is an antidepressant drug that presents an action mechanism related to the synaptic transmission. What is that mechanism?
Fluoxetine is a substance that inhibits the re-uptake of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that acts mainly in the central nervous system. By inhibiting the re-uptake of the neurotransmitter the drug increases its availability in the synaptic cleft thus improving the neuronal transmission.
