Fluoxetine Oral Solution is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) prescribed for the management of behavior disorders in animals. It works by increasing serotonin levels in the central nervous system to help address conditions such as separation anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and dominance aggression. This liquid formulation is utilized to facilitate precise dosing and administration for patients that have difficulty taking solid oral medications.

How to Give Oral Solution

Oral solutions are liquid medications that you give by mouth. In a solution, the medication is completely dissolved in the liquid, so it usually looks clear or evenly colored. Here's how to give it:

Shake well each time to mix the medication (5-10 seconds).
Measure the dose using the syringe/dropper provided or one recommended by your vet. Insert the top of the oral syringe into the bottle adapter. Turn the bottle upside down and pull the plunger until the medicine reaches the volume required
Hold your pet steady: a towel or helper can assist with squirmy pets.
Administer the dose slowly into the side of the mouth. Allow small pauses if needed for swallowing.
Raise the head slightly to help the medication go down and clean any spills with a little water or tissue.
Praise your pet and offer a treat or water (unless advised against feeding right after).
Clean the syringe with water immediately after use. Store the bottle as directed, out of sunlight.
Consistency is key: Shake each time, measure accurately, and contact your vet if any issues arise.
