Sertraline Mylan is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The active substance in\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan is\u00a0sertraline\u00a0.\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0belongs to a group of medicines called\u00a0SSRIs\u00a0(selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).\u00a0These drugs are used to treat depression and\/or anxiety disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan can be used to treat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>depression and prevention of recurrent depression (in adults)<\/li><li>social phobia&nbsp;(in adults)<\/li><li>post-traumatic stress disorder&nbsp;(PTSD) (in adults)<\/li><li>panic disorder (in adults)<\/li><li>obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) (in adults, as well as children and adolescents in the age group 6-17 years).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Depression is a clinical illness with symptoms such as feeling sad, unable to sleep properly, or enjoying life as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder are diseases that are linked to anxiety with symptoms such as constant discomfort (fixation), which means that you have to repeat different rituals (compulsion).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-traumatic stress disorder&nbsp;is a condition that can occur after a very emotionally traumatic experience, with some symptoms similar to depression and anxiety.&nbsp;Social phobia&nbsp;(social anxiety syndrome) is a disease that is linked to anxiety.&nbsp;The disease is characterized by feelings of intense anxiety or anguish in social situations (eg, talking to strangers, speaking in front of groups of people, eating or drinking in front of other people, or worrying about perhaps behaving embarrassingly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor has decided that this medicine is suitable for treating your illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your doctor if you are not sure why you have been given&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sertraline contained\u00a0in\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you take Sertraline Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not take Sertraline Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to\u00a0sertraline\u00a0or any of the other ingredients

must wait at least 2 weeks before you can start treatment with\u00a0sertraline.<\/li><li>if you are taking a medicine called pimozide (a medicine for mental illness).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all medicines are suitable for all people.\u00a0Talk to your doctor before taking\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan if you have or have ever had any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Serotonergic syndrome or malignant neuroleptic syndrome (a condition that can be life-threatening).\u00a0In rare cases, these syndromes may occur when you are taking certain other medicines simultaneously as\u00a0sertraline\u00a0(see section \u201cOther medicines and\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan\u201d below).\u00a0(The symptoms of the serotonergic syndrome are described in section 4, \u201cPossible side effects\u201d).\u00a0Your doctor has told you if you have had this before.<\/li><li>Low sodium levels in the blood, as this can occur when treated with\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan.\u00a0Also tell your doctor if you are taking certain medicines for high\u00a0blood pressure, as such medicines can also change the levels of sodium in your blood.<\/li><li>Take special care if you are elderly or suffer from severe dehydration (eg due to vomiting or severe diarrhea), as you may be at higher risk of getting low sodium levels in your blood (see above).<\/li><li>Liver disease.\u00a0Your doctor may decide that you should have a lower\u00a0dose\u00a0of\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan.<\/li><li>Diabetes.\u00a0Blood sugar levels may be affected due to\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan and your diabetes medication may need to be adjusted.<\/li><li>Epilepsy\u00a0or if you have had seizures in the past.\u00a0If you have a seizure, contact your doctor immediately.<\/li><li>Disease with mania and depression (\u00a0bipolar disorder\u00a0) or schizophrenia.\u00a0If you have a manic period, contact your doctor immediately.<\/li><li>Thoughts of harming yourself or committing suicide (see below &#8220;If you start to feel worse and have thoughts of harming yourself&#8221;).<\/li><li>Bleeding, or if you have taken medicines that thin the blood (eg\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/medicines\/tiplo-citrus\/\">acetylsalicylic acid<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0warfarin\u00a0) or that may increase the risk of bleeding, or if you are pregnant (see &#8220;Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility&#8221;).<\/li><li>If you are a child or young person under 18 years of age.\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan should only be given to children and adolescents aged 6-17 years if they suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder.\u00a0If you are being treated for this disease, your doctor will want to monitor you closely (see &#8220;Use in children and adolescents&#8221; below).<\/li><li>If you receive electrical treatment (so-called electroconvulsive treatment, ECT).<\/li><li>If you have or have had problems with increased pressure in your eyes (such as certain types of\u00a0glaucoma\u00a0or\u00a0glaucoma\u00a0).<\/li><li>If you have been told by an examination of your heart that you have an abnormal\u00a0ECG\u00a0(\u00a0electrocardiogram\u00a0) called an extended\u00a0QT interval.<\/li><li>If you have low levels of\u00a0potassium\u00a0or\u00a0magnesium\u00a0in your blood if there have been any sudden deaths or heart problems in your family if you have other heart problems or are taking medicines that affect your heart rhythm.\u00a0These increase the risk of you having heart rhythm problems (\u00a0QT\u00a0prolongation,\u00a0Torsade de Pointes\u00a0).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan may affect the results of any urine test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Restlessness\/akathisia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of&nbsp;sertraline&nbsp;has been linked to&nbsp;akathisia&nbsp;(painful restlessness and need to move, often unable to sit or stand still).&nbsp;This usually occurs during the first weeks of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasing\u00a0the dose\u00a0can be harmful to patients who develop such symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Withdrawal reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reactions following discontinuation of treatment are common, especially if treatment is stopped abruptly (see section 3 \u201cIf you stop taking\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan\u201d and section 4, \u201cPossible side effects\u201d).\u00a0The risk of getting withdrawal symptoms depends on how long you have been treated,\u00a0dosage, and how quickly\u00a0one is reduced.\u00a0In general, these symptoms are mild to moderate, but for some patients, they can be severe.\u00a0The symptoms usually appear within the first few days after stopping treatment and usually disappear on their own or subside within 2 weeks.\u00a0In some patients, they may sit for longer (2-3 months or more).\u00a0If treatment with\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan is to be discontinued, dosing is\u00a0recommended one is gradually reduced over several weeks or months, and you should always discuss the best way to discontinue treatment with your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you start to feel worse and have thoughts of harming yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You who are depressed and\/or suffer from worry\/anxiety may sometimes have thoughts of harming yourself or committing suicide.\u00a0These symptoms may worsen when you start using antidepressants, as it takes time for this type of medicine to take effect, usually about 2 weeks, sometimes longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These thoughts may be common:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have previously had thoughts of harming yourself or committing suicide,<\/li><li>if you are younger than 25 years.&nbsp;Studies have shown that young adults (younger than 25 years) with mental illness who are treated with antidepressant drugs have an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and thoughts of harming themselves.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact a doctor as soon as possible or go to the nearest hospital if you have thoughts of injuring yourself or committing suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be helpful to tell a relative or close friend that you are depressed and\/or suffering from anxiety.\u00a0Feel free to ask them to read this leaflet.\u00a0You can also ask them to tell you if they think you are feeling worse or if they think your behavior is changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drugs such as&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan (&nbsp;SSRIs&nbsp;\/ SNRIs) can cause symptoms of sexual&nbsp;dysfunction&nbsp;(see section 4).&nbsp;In some cases, these symptoms have persisted after discontinuation of treatment.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sertraline\u00a0Mylan should not normally be used in the treatment of children and adolescents under 18 years of age, except in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.\u00a0The risk of\u00a0side effects\u00a0such as suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts, and hostility (mainly aggression, defiance, and anger) is greater in people under the age of 18 when they take drugs of this type.\u00a0Nevertheless,\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan may be prescribed by a doctor to patients under 18 years of age, if the doctor deems it appropriate.\u00a0If a doctor has\u00a0prescribed Sertraline\u00a0Mylan to a patient under the age of 18 and you want to discuss this, contact your doctor.\u00a0You should also inform your doctor if you notice any of the above symptoms or if these symptoms worsen in a person under the age of 18 taking\u00a0SertralineMylan.\u00a0In addition, the long-term effects of\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0Mylan on the growth, maturation, and development of intellect and behavior have not yet been established in this age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Sertraline Mylan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some medicines may affect the effect

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The safety of sertraline in pregnant women has not been established.&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;should only be given to pregnant women if the doctor considers that the benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risks to the fetus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your midwife or doctor that you are using&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan.&nbsp;When drugs such as&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan are used during pregnancy, especially during the last three months, they may increase the risk of a serious condition called&nbsp;persistent&nbsp;pulmonary&nbsp;hypertension&nbsp;in the newborn (PPHN).&nbsp;This condition causes the baby to breathe faster and look blue.&nbsp;The symptoms usually appear within 24 hours of the baby being born.&nbsp;If this affects your baby, contact a midwife or doctor immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your newborn baby may also have other conditions, which usually begin in the first 24 hours after birth.&nbsp;Symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Respiratory problems<\/li><li>Bluish skin or be too hot or too cold<\/li><li>Blue

doctor or midwife who will be able to advise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan at the end of your pregnancy, there may be an increased risk of heavy vaginal bleeding shortly after delivery, especially if you have a history of bleeding disorders.&nbsp;Your doctor or midwife should be informed that you are taking&nbsp;Sertraline&nbsp;Mylan so that they can advise you on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Breast-feeding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is evidence that\u00a0sertraline\u00a0is excreted in human breast milk.\u00a0Sertraline\u00a0should only be given to breastfeeding women if the doctor considers that the benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risks to the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fertility<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In animal studies, it has been shown that certain drugs such as\u00a0sertraline\u00a0can reduce the quality of semen.\u00a0In theory, this could affect\u00a0fertility, but no such depressant effect of\u00a0sertraline\u00a0on\u00a0fertility\u00a0has yet been demonstrated in humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Psychotropic drugs&nbsp;such as&nbsp;sertraline&nbsp;may affect your ability to drive or use machines.&nbsp;Therefore, you should not drive or use machines until you know how this medicine affects your ability to perform these activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other
