Prozac is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), meaning it increases the levels of serotonin in the brain by blocking its reuptake, leading to more serotonin being available to bind to postsynaptic receptors. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is important in regulating mood, appetite, and sleep.
