Product Details

Sert Tablets 50 mg contain sertraline hydrochloride, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to enhance serotonin activity in the brain. By inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT), Sert Tablets help regulate mood and alleviate symptoms associated with various mental health conditions.

Purposes

Sert Tablets 50 mg are indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and panic disorder (PD). This medication is designed to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and manage the symptoms of these conditions effectively.

Warnings

Warning 1: The use of Sert Tablets may lead to serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by excessive serotonin activity. Immediate medical attention is required if symptoms of serotonin syndrome occur.

Warning 2: Sert Tablets 50 mg can increase the risk of bleeding, especially when used in combination with aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or anticoagulants like warfarin. Regular monitoring is recommended to manage bleeding risks.

Warning 3: Hyponatremia, or low sodium levels, may occur with Sert Tablets. Symptoms of hyponatremia include headache, confusion, and seizures. Consult your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Sert Tablets 50 mg include hypersensitivity reactions, QT prolongation, suicidal thoughts, serotonin syndrome, and increased bleeding risk. Other potential side effects are activation of mania, discontinuation syndrome, seizures, angle-closure glaucoma, and hyponatremia. Seek medical advice if you experience severe or persistent symptoms.

Cautions

Before using Sert Tablets 50 mg, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of serotonin syndrome, are taking MAO inhibitors, or have known hypersensitivity to sertraline. Caution is advised during late pregnancy due to potential risks to the newborn, including respiratory support and persistent pulmonary hypertension. Regular monitoring is essential for those with conditions that affect serotonin reuptake.

Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions and report any adverse effects or unusual symptoms while using Sert Tablets to ensure safe and effective treatment.
