SERTAFER 50 (Sertraline (50mg))

Product Description

SERTAFER 50 TABLET is classified as an antidepressant within the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) category. This medication is primarily indicated for the treatment of depressive disorders and anxiety-related issues, including obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder. Additionally, it may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms associated with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, characterized by mood disturbances and irritability prior to menstruation in females. SERTAFER 50 TABLET can be consumed regardless of food intake. The appropriate dosage and frequency of administration will be determined by your healthcare provider to ensure effective symptom management. Initially, a lower dosage may be prescribed, which can be gradually increased based on your response to the medication. It is crucial not to modify the dosage or discontinue use without consulting your physician, even if you feel improvements. Abrupt changes may exacerbate your condition or lead to withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, restlessness, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and sleep issues. For optimal benefits, it is advised to take this medication consistently at the same time each day; your doctor might recommend taking it in the morning to help with sleep disturbances. It may take several weeks before noticeable improvements occur, and if symptoms do not improve after four weeks, you should inform your doctor. Be alert for any sudden changes in mood or thoughts of self-harm and report these immediately. Prior to initiating treatment, disclose any existing conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, liver or kidney disorders, heart issues, or glaucoma to your healthcare provider, as these factors may influence your treatment plan. It is also essential for pregnant or nursing women to seek medical advice before starting this medication, as interactions with other drugs, particularly antidepressants and MAO inhibitors, may affect safety.
