why-linked

EveryOption includes fluoxetine for OCD because the DailyMed Fluoxetine Hydrochloride label’s Indications and Usage section names Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as a labeled indication for adults and for pediatric patients 7 to 17 years of age. That label statement was checked against this source. A clinical evidence assessment of how well fluoxetine works for OCD has not yet been published here.
