你应该知道使用舍曲林时的注意事项及副作用

Sertraline is a powerful serotonin reuptake inhibitor with obvious selectivity for serotonin. Sertraline can inhibit the body's reuptake of serotonin to promote the increase in the level of 5-hydroxytryptamine neurotransmitter in the synaptic space of the brain, thereby alleviating patients' depressive symptoms. Sertraline can also act on the thalamus-pituitary adrenal axis mechanism to reduce the number of adrenergic receptors in the presynaptic membrane of brain nerve cells, thereby improving depressive symptoms. When using it, you must pay attention to the following precautions and side effects.

: You should also avoid drinking alcohol or alcoholic beverages while taking sertraline. If you are a woman of childbearing age, you should take adequate safety contraceptive measures while taking sertraline. Sertraline can also cause drowsiness and dizziness. Avoid driving or operating machinery while taking the medication. The dose of sertraline needs to be gradually reduced and the medication cannot be stopped without authorization. If children are taking the medication for a long time, their growth and development may need to be monitored regularly.
