Sertraline Tablet is a type of antidepressant known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is used for treating depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Depression is classified as a mood disorder characterised by feelings of sadness, difficulty sleeping, or a diminished ability to enjoy life as before. OCD is a mental health condition marked by intrusive thoughts or ideas (obsessions) that lead to repetitive actions (compulsions). Panic disorder is associated with anxiety and involves sudden feelings of fear that arise without any actual danger. PTSD is a psychological disorder that arises after experiencing a highly emotional or frightening event and shares symptoms with both anxiety and depression. Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) is characterised by significant anxiety or distress in social settings.
Sertraline Tablet contains the active ingredient Sertraline, which functions by blocking the reabsorption of released serotonin into nerve cells. This action increases serotonin activity (a neurotransmitter) in the brain, which plays a crucial role in regulating mood, behaviour, and emotions. Consequently, Sertraline assists in alleviating depression, boosting mood, and addressing anxiety symptoms like fear and panic.
Sertraline can be taken with or without food according to your doctor’s recommendations, and it should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Avoid breaking, crushing, or chewing the tablet. Your physician will advise you on the dosage frequency of Sertraline based on your health condition. Some individuals may experience side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), dry mouth, nausea, headaches, diarrhoea, fatigue, or ejaculation issues. Most of these side effects generally do not require medical intervention and typically resolve over time. However, if any side effects persist or worsen, it is important to consult your physician.
