Hii ...
Unwanted obscene intrusive thoughts can occur in OCD . Flunil 60 mg and Fludac 60 mg both contain Fluoxetine, so they are generally similar medicines.
Next Steps
Continue regular follow-up with your psychiatrist to monitor symptom control, side effects, and dosage adjustment if needed.
CBT with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) can also help significantly in managing intrusive thoughts.
Health Tips
Do not feel guilty or panic about intrusive thoughts
• Avoid overthinking or repeated reassurance seeking
• Maintain proper sleep and stress management
• Do not stop/change medicines abruptly without consultation

Yes but if it's not in control some other medications (like clomipramine or aripiprazole or risperidone etc) can be added based on history and distress. You can consult me for detailed evaluation and management.

These kind of intrusive obscene thoughts can occur in OCD and they are usually ego-dystonic, meaning the person does not want them and feels distressed by them. Fluoxetine is commonly used for OCD, and both Fluni 60 mg and Fludac 60 mg contain the same medicine (fluoxetine). So if the dose is same, Fludac 60 mg can generally be used as an alternative. However, improvement in OCD also depends on regular treatment, CBT/ERP therapy, sleep, stress control, and sometimes dose adjustment by a psychiatrist. Do not stop or change medicines suddenly on your own.
For consultation, u can directly msg on nine nine three one zero four five zero zero eight.
