Overview Flox 60mg Capsule

Sertraline 60mg capsules are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) used to treat depression and associated conditions. Commonly prescribed for major depressive disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, this medication improves mood and reduces anxiety. It's also indicated for bulimia nervosa, helping manage binge-purge cycles. Dosage is determined by your physician, typically starting low and gradually increasing. Never alter or discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor; abrupt cessation may worsen symptoms or cause withdrawal (e.g., anxiety, restlessness, palpitations). Consistent daily dosing is crucial for optimal efficacy; improvement may take several weeks. Report lack of progress after four weeks. Possible side effects include nausea, digestive upset, dry mouth, tiredness, appetite changes, sweating, sinus issues, sleep difficulties, and vivid dreams. Sexual dysfunction (reduced libido, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction) may occur. Immediately report mood deterioration or suicidal ideation. Inform your physician of pre-existing conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, liver/kidney disease, heart problems, or glaucoma, as these can impact treatment. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical advice before use. Interactions may occur with other antidepressants or MAO inhibitors; disclose all medications to your doctor to ensure safety.
