Uses of Sertraline:

Sertraline is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This medication works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain.

How does Sertraline Antidepressant work?

Depressive and anxiety symptoms are the result of a biochemical imbalance in the brain, a disturbance in the brain's chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Sertraline acts on the neurotransmitter serotonin, allowing electrical messages to be processed more smoothly and efficiently. This helps relieve symptoms of depression.

A standard dose of Sertraline is 50 to 200 mg per day. It is taken once a day, either in the morning or evening, and may be taken with or without food.

Sertraline has a favorable side-effect profile. As with any medication, you may experience some side effects, but with Sertraline, most side effects are mild to moderate, and tend to go away as you continue taking Sertraline.

What do I do if I experience side effects?

Talk to your doctor or other healthcare professional if you have any concerns about side effects or if the side effects do not go away. Be patient with your treatment. You should know that most side effects of Sertraline tend to go away within a few weeks.
