Product Details

Serlin Tablets 100mg contain the active ingredient sertraline, which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This medication enhances serotonergic activity in the brain by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation. Serlin Tablets are commonly used in the management of mental health conditions by balancing serotonin levels, thereby improving mood, sleep, and energy levels.

Purposes

Serlin Tablets are prescribed for the treatment of several mental health conditions including major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and panic disorder (PD). By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, Serlin Tablets help alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions, such as persistent sadness, obsessive thoughts, and panic attacks.

Warnings

Serlin 100mg can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition, particularly when taken with other serotonergic drugs. Additionally, the medication may elevate the risk of bleeding, especially when used with blood-thinning agents like aspirin or warfarin. Hyponatremia, or low sodium levels in the blood, is another serious concern, particularly in elderly patients.

Adverse Effects

Common adverse effects of Serlin include hypersensitivity reactions, dizziness, drowsiness, and gastrointestinal disturbances. More serious side effects can occur, such as QT prolongation, suicidal thoughts, serotonin syndrome, and seizures. These side effects should be promptly reported to a healthcare provider.

Cautions

Before starting Serlin Tablets 100mg, inform your doctor if you have a history of liver, kidney, or heart disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. This medication should not be taken with MAOIs or within 14 days of stopping MAOIs due to the risk of serotonin syndrome. Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult your healthcare provider if you experience any adverse reactions.

Serlin 100mg should be stored at room temperature, away from direct light and heat, to maintain their effectiveness.
