Sertraline, an antidepressant classified as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), is used to treat depression, PTSD, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and OCD. Depression involves feelings of sadness and loss of interest in activities. OCD causes repetitive thoughts and behaviors, while panic disorder leads to sudden fear without real danger. PTSD results from experiencing traumatic events and includes anxiety and depression symptoms.
Sertraline works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which regulate mood and emotions. It helps alleviate depression, lighten mood, and reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.
Take Sertraline as prescribed, with or without food, swallowing it whole with water. Avoid breaking or chewing the tablets. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, insomnia, dry mouth, nausea, headache, diarrhea, tiredness, or changes in sexual function. Most side effects are temporary and do not require medical attention unless they persist or worsen.
