Overview Fluvel 20 Capsule

Sertraline 20mg capsules are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) used to treat depression and various associated conditions such as panic attacks and obsessive-compulsive disorder. This medication improves mood, reduces anxiety and tension, aiding recovery from depressive episodes. It's also indicated for bulimia nervosa, helping to curb binge eating and purging behaviors. Dosage is determined individually by your physician, often starting low and gradually increasing. Never alter your prescription or discontinue use without consulting your doctor; abrupt cessation can worsen symptoms or trigger withdrawal effects (including anxiety, agitation, dizziness, sleep disturbances, and palpitations). For optimal results, take the medication consistently at the same time daily. Therapeutic benefits usually emerge within several weeks; report lack of improvement after four weeks to your doctor. Common side effects include nausea, digestive upset, dry mouth, fatigue, appetite changes, increased sweating, sinus congestion, sleep difficulties, yawning, and unusual dreams. Reduced libido, delayed ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction are also potential side effects. Immediately inform your doctor of any sudden mood changes or suicidal thoughts. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any pre-existing conditions like epilepsy, diabetes, liver or kidney impairment, cardiac issues, or glaucoma, as these may influence treatment. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical advice before use. Interaction with other medications, notably other antidepressants or MAO inhibitors, is possible; ensure your doctor has a complete list of all your current medications for safety.
