Key takeaways
- • Severity: Minor — informational only.

Mechanism
No clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction. Similar to other SSRIs — additive nausea and reduced appetite are possible during semaglutide titration. Fluoxetine itself can suppress appetite, which may amplify weight loss but also food intake reduction.
