Sarafem is a brand name for fluoxetine, the same active ingredient found in Prozac. However, Sarafem is specifically approved to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Think of it as a targeted remedy for mood swings related to the menstrual cycle! 🌸 It works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, helping to stabilize mood and reduce irritability, anxiety, and depression associated with PMDD. It's important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
