Thanks , Kenita, that was the other question I had.

I had entered  fluoxetine  into the Chemfinder and all I got was
the chemical formula; no synonyms.
   C17H18F3NO
                                            309.3305

Now, that I entered  prozac , I get:
Fluoxetine Hydrochloride  [59333-67-4]

Synonyms: Prozac;
 (+/-)-N-methyl-3-phenyl-3-[(alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluoro-p-tolyl)
oxy]propylamine hydrochloride;

                                         C17H19ClF3NO
                                            345.7914
I guess the addition of one each of H and Cl atoms made the
difference from fluoxetine to Prozac.
Best,
Olaf
