Indications
Nuzac is indicated for the treatment of symptoms of major depression and obsessive compulsive disorders.

Dosage and Administration

Major depression: Nuzac-10 may be used for initiation of anti-depressant therapy. Nuzac-10 may be used for titrating the dose and also in patients in whom a low-dose maintenance therapy is required. The maintenance dosage is 20 mg daily administered in the morning. Although symptomatic relief may be apparent within the first 1-3 weeks of Nuzac therapy, optimum anti-depressant effect usually requires at least 4 weeks or more of therapy with the drug. A dose increase may be considered after several weeks if no clinical improvement is observed. Doses above 20 mg/day may be administered on a once-a-day (morning) or on a b.i.d. schedule (i.e. morning and noon) and should not exceed a maximum dose of 80 mg/day.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A dose of 20 mg/day administered in the morning is recommended as the initial dose. A dose increase may be considered after several weeks if insufficient clinical improvement is observed. The full therapeutic effect may be delayed until 5 weeks of treatment or longer.

Doses above 20 mg/day may be administered on a once-a-day (morning) schedule or on a b.i.d. schedule (i.e. morning and noon) not exceeding 80 mg/day.

Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the drug.
