The Distribution of Fluoxetine and Norfluoxetine in Postmortem Fluids and Tissues

[摘要] During aviation accident investigations, postmortem specimens from the flight crews are submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration�s Civil Aerospace Medical Institute for toxicological analysis. Fluoxetine (Prozac) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that was introduced in 1986. Certain side effects of this medication � drowsiness, dizziness, abnormal vision, diarrhea, and headache � could affect pilot performance and become a factor in an aviation accident.
