Fluvoxal is used to treat various types of depression, as it helps alleviate symptoms of persistent sadness and loss of interest in daily activities. It also treats generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, which are accompanied by a constant feeling of tension or excessive thinking about daily issues.
Fluvoxal can also be used to treat some cases of panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as it helps reduce severe anxiety attacks and achieve greater psychological stability. In some cases, it is prescribed to control mood disorders associated with the menstrual cycle in women, known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
