Overview Flusag 20mg Tablet

Sertraline 20mg tablets, an SSRI antidepressant, are frequently prescribed for depression, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. This medication alleviates depressive symptoms by improving mood and reducing anxiety. It also aids in managing bulimia nervosa by curbing binge-eating and purging behaviors. Dosage and frequency are determined by your physician to optimize symptom control, often starting with a low dose gradually increased. 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 disruption). For maximum efficacy, take this medication consistently at the same time daily. Improvement may take several weeks; inform your doctor if no improvement is noted after four weeks. Common side effects include nausea, digestive upset, dry mouth, fatigue, appetite changes, sweating, sinusitis, sleep disturbances, yawning, and unusual dreams. Reduced libido, delayed ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction are also possible. Report any sudden mood worsening or suicidal thoughts immediately. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any existing conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, heart problems, or glaucoma, as these may influence treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before use. Interactions may occur with other medications, particularly other antidepressants and MAO inhibitors; inform your doctor of all medications you are currently using.
