Pharmacology
Sertraline has potent and selective inhibitory action on CNS neuronal reuptake of 5-HT resulting in increased 5-HT concentrations at the synaptic clefts, leading to facilitation of its sustained activity at the postsynaptic receptor sites. It ultimately results in an improvement of depression. Reduction of Serotonin turnover in brain by Sertraline is also another contributing fact implicated in its action. Its prolonged elimination half-life offers a benefit of once daily administration.

Interaction
Potential effects of co-administration of drugs that are highly bound to plasma proteins- As Setra is tightly bound to plasma protein, the administration of Setra to a patient taking another drug which is tightly bound to protein, (e.g. warfarin, digitoxin) may cause a shift in plasma concentrations potentially resulting in an adverse effect. Conversely adverse effects may result from displacement of protein bound Setra by other tightly bound drugs. Setra may interact with other drugs such as Cimetidine, CNS active drugs like Diazepam, Hypoglycemic drugs, Atenolol etc.
Contraindications
Sertraline is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Sertraline or any of the excipients of drug. In patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment is not recommended.
Side Effects
Setra may cause side effects like upset stomach, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, dry mouth, loss of appetite, weight changes, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, pain, burning or tingling in the hands or feet, excitement, sore throat etc.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Although animal studies did not provide any evidence of teratogenicity, the safety of Sertraline during human pregnancy has not been established. Sertraline is known to be excreted in breast milk. Its effects on the nursing infant have not yet been established. If treatment with Sertraline is considered necessary, discontinuation of breast-feeding should be considered.
Precautions & Warnings
Precaution should be taken in case of liver problems, kidney diseases, seizures, heart problems and any allergies. Setra may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Caution should be taken in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Caution is advised while using Setra in the elderly because they may be more sensitive to the effects of the drug. Do not take Setra if you have taken monoamine oxidase inhibitor in the last five weeks. Risk of suicidal thinking and change of behavior may occur (close monitoring of the patient after 2 to 3 weeks of use is required).
