盐酸舍曲林对焦虑症的治疗效果非常好，是真的吗？

Sertraline is used to treat symptoms associated with depression, including depression with anxiety, with or without a history of mania. After the effect is satisfactory, continuing to take sertraline can effectively prevent the recurrence and recurrence of depression. The tablets are administered orally once a day, in the morning or evening. Can be taken with food or alone. Today let’s learn about sertraline hydrochloride’s very good effect in treating anxiety. Is it true?

Sertraline is an antidepressant drug that has a good therapeutic effect on patients with depression in clinical practice. It can effectively alleviate the depressive symptoms of depressed patients, such as irritability, anxiety, fatigue, etc. It is currently the drug of choice for the treatment of depression.

The effects of sertraline in treating depressive disorders are as follows:

A study was conducted among outpatients with depression who responded to an 8-week open-label trial of sertraline 50 to 200 mg/day. These patients (N=295) were randomly assigned to the sertraline 50-200 mg/day group or the placebo group and continued the 44-week double-blind trial. The relapse rate was significantly lower in the sertraline group compared with the placebo group. The average dose for patients who completed the study was 70 mg/day.

The effects of sertraline in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder are as follows:

In a long-term study, patients who responded to a 52-week single-blind trial of sertraline 50 to 200 mg/day and who met DSM-III-R criteria for obsessive-compulsive disorder were enrolled. These patients (n=224) were randomly assigned to the sertraline or placebo group to continue treatment for 28 weeks, and the proportion of patients who dropped out due to disease recurrence or poor efficacy was observed.

During the 28 weeks of continued treatment, the proportion of patients in the sertraline group who dropped out due to disease relapse or poor efficacy was significantly lower than that in the placebo group. This feature was shown in both male and female patients.

Sertraline hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Its mechanism of action is related to its inhibition of $5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake in the central nervous system. At clinical doses, sertraline blocks serotonin uptake by human platelets. Studies suggest that sertraline is a potent and selective neuronal serotonin reuptake inhibitor with only weak effects on norepinephrine and dopamine.
