Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I read your query and understood your concern.

There is no significant interaction found between prozac and imovane.

Prozac generally is activating drug and may cause insomnia. I always prefer to prescribe prozac in morning after breakfast.Taking it night may cause sleep disturbance..

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki
