Overview Flufran 20mg Tablet

Sertraline 20mg tablets are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a class of antidepressants. Prescribed for depression and related conditions such as panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, this medication improves mood, reduces anxiety and tension, aiding recovery from depression. It's also used to manage bulimia nervosa, lessening binge-eating and purging behaviors. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician to optimize symptom control; a gradual increase from a lower starting dose is common. Never alter your dosage or discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor; abrupt cessation can worsen your condition or trigger withdrawal (e.g., anxiety, restlessness, palpitations, dizziness, sleep disturbances). For maximum efficacy, take it consistently at the same time daily. Improvement may take several weeks; report a lack of progress after four weeks. Common side effects include nausea, indigestion, dry mouth, fatigue, appetite changes, sweating, sinusitis, insomnia, yawning, and vivid dreams. Sexual dysfunction (reduced libido, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction) may also occur. Immediately report any sudden mood changes or suicidal thoughts. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions like epilepsy, diabetes, liver/kidney disease, heart problems, or glaucoma, as these could impact treatment. Consult your doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Interactions may occur with other medications, particularly other antidepressants and MAO inhibitors; disclose all current medications to ensure safety.
