Pharmacopedia
A collaborative reference for medicines, how we use them, and how they affect us.
Featured medicine

Fluoxetine was the first of the SSRIs, released in the US Dec 29 1987, and still a mainstay of treatment for many conditions ranging from anxiety disorders to OCD to PTSD to premature ejaculation. It was the first of a long line of SSRIs that have come to dominate prescribing practices of many clinicians around the world. Initially touted as being effective and well-tolerated, both of those assumptions have come under serious scrutiny in more recent years.

About this project

Pharmacopedia is a community-maintained reference for medicines, blending structured pharmacology with practical clinical experience. Each entry covers what a medicine does, how it's used, what to expect, and the lived detail that doesn't always make it into the package insert.

Written for clinicians, students, and curious patients.

Disclaimer: Pharmacopedia is a community-maintained reference. Nothing here is medical advice. Always consult a qualified clinician.
