Half-lifeThe half life of fluoxetine is significant with the elimination half-life of the parent drug averaging 1-3 days after acute administration, and 4-6 days after chronic administration. Further, the elimination half life of it's active metabolite, norfluoxetine, ranges from 4-16 days after both acute and chronic administration. The half-life of fluoxetine should be considered when switching patients from fluoxetine to another antidepressant since marked accumulation occurs after chronic use. Fluoxetine's long half-life may even be beneficial when discontinuing the drug since the risk of withdrawal is minimized.
Protein bindingApproximately 94% of fluoxetine is plasma protein bound.
