Overview Cadflo 20mg Capsule

Sertraline 20mg capsules, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant, are commonly prescribed for depression, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. This medication alleviates depressive symptoms by improving mood and reducing anxiety. It's also utilized in managing bulimia nervosa, helping to curb binge eating and purging behaviors. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician to optimize symptom control, often starting with a lower dose gradually increased. Never alter the dosage or discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor; abrupt cessation may worsen your condition or trigger withdrawal (including anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, dizziness, sleep disturbances). For maximum effectiveness, take consistently at the same time daily. Improvement may take several weeks; report lack of progress after four weeks. Common side effects include nausea, indigestion, dry mouth, fatigue, appetite changes, increased sweating, sinusitis, insomnia, yawning, and unusual dreams. Reduced libido, delayed ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction are also possible. Immediately inform your doctor of any sudden mood changes or suicidal thoughts. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any pre-existing conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, heart problems, or glaucoma, as these may influence treatment. Consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding. Interactions may occur with other medications, particularly other antidepressants and MAO inhibitors; inform your physician of all current medications for safety.
