Indications
Nuzac is indicated for the treatment of symptoms of depression, obsessive
compulsive disorders and bulimia nervosa.

Dosage and Administration
Major depression: Nuzac 10 mg may be used for initiation of antidepressant
therapy. Nuzac 10 mg 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. Nuzac 10 mg may be used for titrating
the dose and also in patients in whom a low-dose maintenance therapy is
required. Doses above 20 mg/day should be administered on a b.i.d.
schedule (i.e. morning and noon) and should not exceed a maximum dose
of 60 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)
or on a b.i.d. schedule (i.e. morning and noon) not exceeding 60 mg/day.
Bulimia nervosa: Recommended dosage is 60 mg/day, administered in the
