Abstract
1 Fluvoxamine and clovoxamine, two new potential antidepressants were given to 27 healthy male volunteers in a double-blind, placebo controlled, three-way crossover study. 2 Neither compound affected the electrical intervals of 24 h ambulant electrocardiographic monitoring with the exception of a small increase in R-R interval. 3 There were no changes in blood pressure measurements. 4 The only notable unwanted symptom was nausea for both fluvoxamine and clovoxamine.
