Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prozac inhibits the reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which means that it increases the amount of time serotonin spends in the synapses of the brain, leading to an increase in its effects. Therefore, the correct option is B. Option A is incorrect as Prozac does not reduce the action of serotonin. Option C is incorrect as Prozac does not prevent the release of serotonin in the synapses. Option D is also incorrect as Prozac inhibits the absorption of serotonin in the pre-synaptic neuron, not the post-synaptic neuron.
