Indications & Uses
Serolux is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Sertraline strongly and selectively blocks the reuptake of 5-HT by neurons in the CNS. This raises the 5-HT concentration at the synaptic clefts, so its activity at the postsynaptic receptor sites is sustained for longer. In the end, depression improves. Sertraline also reduces serotonin turnover in the brain, and this is another factor thought to contribute to how it works. Because its elimination half-life is long, it can be given once daily.

Side Effects
Tralin can cause some side effects. These include upset stomach, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, dry mouth and loss of appetite. Some people notice changes in weight, drowsiness, dizziness or headache. Others may have pain, or burning or tingling in the hands or feet, as well as excitement and sore throat, and similar effects.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Take care if you have liver problems, kidney disease, seizures, heart problems or any allergies. Tralin may cause dizziness or drowsiness, so be careful with activities that need you to stay alert, such as driving or using machinery. Older people may be more sensitive to the effects of the medicine, so Tralin should be used with caution in the elderly. Don't take Tralin if you have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor in the last five weeks. There is also a risk of suicidal thinking and changes in behaviour, so the patient needs close monitoring after 2 to 3 weeks of use.
Contraindications
Sertraline must not be given to anyone who is known to be hypersensitive to sertraline or to any of the excipients in the medicine. It is also not recommended for patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Animal studies showed no evidence that Sertraline causes teratogenicity, but that doesn't settle the question, because its safety during human pregnancy has not been established. Sertraline is known to pass into breast milk, and what it does to a nursing infant has not yet been established. So if treatment with Sertraline is considered necessary, stopping breast-feeding should be considered.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
