Not to be confused with Fluoxetine.

Ifoxetine (CGP-15,210-G) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) which was investigated as an antidepressant in the 1980s but was never marketed.[1][2][3] Ifoxetine selectively blocks the reuptake of serotonin in the brain supposedly without affecting it in the periphery.[3] Supporting this claim, ifoxetine was found to be efficacious in clinical trials and was very well tolerated, producing almost no physical side effects or other complaints of significant concern.[3]
