IMPORTANT WARNING:
|
Studies have shown that
children and teenagers who take antidepressants ('mood elevators') such
as sertraline may be more likely to think about harming or killing
themselves or to plan or try to do so than children who do not take
antidepressants. If your child’s doctor
has prescribed sertraline for your child, you should watch his or her
behavior very carefully, especially at the beginning of treatment and
any time his or her dose is increased or decreased. Your child may
develop serious symptoms very suddenly, so it is important to pay
attention to his or her behavior every day. Call your child’s doctor
right away if he or she experiences any of these symptoms: new or
worsening depression; thinking about harming or killing him- or herself
or planning or trying to do so; extreme worry; agitation; panic attacks;
difficulty falling or staying asleep; irritability; aggressive behavior;
acting without thinking; severe restlessness; frenzied, abnormal
excitement; or any other sudden or unusual changes in behavior. Your
child’s doctor will want to see your child often while he or she is
taking sertraline, especially at the beginning of his or her treatment.
Your child’s doctor may also want to speak with you or your child by
telephone from time to time. Be sure that your child keeps all
appointments for office visits or telephone conversations with his or
her doctor. Your child's doctor or pharmacist will give you the
manufacturer’s patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when your
child begins treatment with sertraline. Read the information carefully
and ask your child's doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You
also can obtain the Medication Guide from the FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/antidepressants/MG_template.pdf.Talk
to your child’s doctor about the risks of giving sertraline to your
child. |
Why is this medication prescribed?
Sertraline is used to treat
depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (bothersome thoughts that won't go
away and the need to perform certain actions over and over), panic attacks
(sudden, unexpected attacks of extreme fear and worry about these attacks),
posttraumatic stress disorder (disturbing psychological symptoms that develop
after a frightening experience), and social anxiety disorder (extreme fear of
interacting with others or performing in front of others that interferes with
normal life). It is also used to relieve the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric
disorder, including mood swings, irritability, bloating, and breast tenderness.
Sertraline is in a class of medications called selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs). It works by increasing the amounts of serotonin, a natural
substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance.
How should this medicine be used?
Sertraline comes as a tablet and a
concentrate (liquid) to take by mouth. It is usually taken once daily in the
morning or evening. To treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder, sertraline is
taken once a day, either every day of the month or on certain days of the month.
To help you remember to take sertraline, take it around the same time every day.
Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor
or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take sertraline exactly
as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than
prescribed by your doctor.
Sertraline concentrate must be
diluted before use. Immediately before taking it, use the provided dropper to
remove the amount of concentrate your doctor has directed you to take. Mix the
concentrate with 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of water, ginger ale, lemon or lime soda,
lemonade, or orange juice. Do not mix the concentrate with any liquids other
than the ones listed. Drink immediately.
Your doctor may start you on a low
dose of sertraline and gradually increase your dose, not more than once a week.
It may take a few weeks or longer
before you feel the full benefit of sertraline. Continue to take sertraline even
if you feel well. Do not stop taking sertraline without talking to your doctor.
Other uses for this medicine
Sertraline is also used sometimes
to treat headaches and sexual problems. Talk to your doctor about the possible
risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed
for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
