PRODUCT OVERVIEW

SErta 25 Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of major depressive disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Regular use as prescribed helps improve mood, emotional wellbeing, and day to day functioning while reducing the risk of symptom recurrence.

KEY USES AND BENEFITS

SErta 25 Tablet is used to treat major depressive disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. In people with depression, it helps improve low mood, sadness, loss of interest in daily activities, reduced energy, and disturbed sleep. With continued treatment, it supports emotional stability, improves overall wellbeing, and helps individuals return to their normal daily routines. It also helps reduce the likelihood of depression returning when taken consistently as advised by the doctor.

For individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder, SErta 25 Tablet helps reduce persistent unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviours that interfere with everyday life. It helps interrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions, allowing better concentration, improved relaxation, and enhanced participation in work, school, and social activities. Continued treatment helps provide long term symptom control and lowers the risk of recurrence.

The full benefits of treatment may take several weeks to become noticeable. Maintaining regular treatment and following healthy lifestyle practices such as adequate sleep, regular exercise, and counselling when recommended can further support recovery.

COMPOSITION AND HOW IT WORKS

SErta 25 Tablet contains Sertraline, which belongs to the class of medicines known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Sertraline works by increasing the level of serotonin, a naturally occurring chemical messenger in the brain that plays an important role in regulating mood, emotions, behaviour, and mental wellbeing. By preventing the reabsorption of serotonin into nerve cells, it increases the availability of serotonin in the brain. This helps improve symptoms of depression, reduce anxiety associated with obsessive compulsive disorder, and decrease unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviours.

Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you start feeling better. Abrupt discontinuation may lead to withdrawal symptoms or cause your condition to return. Your doctor may gradually reduce the dose when treatment needs to be stopped.
