Description
Sertraline Tablets IP 100 mg are antidepressant medications belonging to the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) class. They are commonly prescribed for conditions such as major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Sertraline works by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps improve mood, reduce anxiety, and restore emotional balance.
Mechanism of Action:
Sertraline works by selectively inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) in the brain, thereby increasing serotonin levels in the synaptic cleft. This enhances serotonergic neurotransmission, which is believed to play a key role in mood regulation, anxiety reduction, and behavioral stabilization.

- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
