How It Works
Flux (Fluoxetine HCl) is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI). It works by
increasing serotonin levels in the brain—a neurotransmitter associated with mood balance—by
blocking its reabsorption (reuptake) into neurons. This helps improve mood, sleep, appetite,
and energy levels while reducing anxiety and unwanted thoughts.
