Scientific Evidence:

Fluvoxamine, the active ingredient in Fevarin, is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood, emotions, and behavior. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin, fluvoxamine helps to improve symptoms of depression, OCD, and other anxiety disorders.

Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of fluvoxamine in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that fluvoxamine was significantly more effective than a placebo in reducing symptoms of OCD. Another study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders showed that fluvoxamine was well-tolerated and effective in treating major depressive disorder.
