Abstract
Fluoxetine, an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor class, may stimulate prolactin release by pituitary lactotrophs. A 71-year-old woman taking estrogen replacement therapy developed galactorrhea after initiation of fluoxetine for depression and was found to have an elevated prolactin level. Fluoxetine was discontinued with resolution of the patient's galactorrhea and normalization of her prolactin level.Entities:
