1. What is Sertraline Medical Valley and what is it used for

Sertraline Medical Valley contains the active substance sertraline. Sertraline belongs to a group of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs); these medicines are used to treat depressive disorders and/or anxiety disorders.

Sertraline Medical Valley is used in adults for the treatment of:

  • Episodes of severe depression and prevention of recurrence of severe depression (in adults).
  • Social phobia (in adults).
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (in adults).
  • Anxiety disorders with panic attacks (panic anxiety) (in adults).
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) (in adults and children and adolescents aged 6-17 years).

Depression is a disease characterized by symptoms of feeling sad, difficulty sleeping or feeling pleasure in life.
OCD and anxiety disorders with panic attacks (panic anxiety) are anxiety-related diseases, feeling constant anxiety due to persistent thoughts (obsessions) that cause repetitive rituals (compulsive actions).
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can occur after a very traumatic experience and is characterized by symptoms similar to depression and anxiety.
Social anxiety (social phobia) is an anxiety-related disease. It is characterized by a feeling of intense anxiety or stress in social situations (such as talking to strangers, speaking in front of a group of people, eating or drinking in the presence of others or worrying about potentially embarrassing behavior).
The doctor has decided that this medicine is suitable for the treatment of the disease in the patient.
The patient should consult a doctor if they are not sure why they are taking Sertraline Medical Valley.

2. Important information before taking Sertraline Medical Valley

When not to take Sertraline Medical Valley:

  • If the patient is allergic to sertraline or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If the patient is taking or has taken monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs, e.g. selegiline, moclobemide) or medicines similar to MAOIs (e.g. linezolid). After stopping sertraline treatment, the patient should wait at least one week before starting MAOI treatment. After stopping MAOI treatment, the patient should wait at least two weeks before starting sertraline treatment.
  • If the patient is taking pimozide (a medicine used to treat mental disorders, such as psychoses).

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Sertraline Medical Valley, the patient should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist.
Medicines do not always suit everyone. The patient should tell their doctor before taking Sertraline Medical Valley if they currently have or have had any of the following conditions:

  • Seizures (epilepsy) or a history of seizures. If a seizure occurs, the patient should contact their doctor immediately.
  • A history of manic-depressive disorder (bipolar) or schizophrenia. If a manic episode occurs, the patient should contact their doctor immediately.
  • Current or past thoughts of self-harm or suicide (see below - Suicidal thoughts, worsening of depression or anxiety).
  • Serotonin syndrome. This syndrome can occur in rare cases in patients taking certain medicines at the same time as sertraline. (Symptoms, see section 4. "Possible side effects"). The doctor should tell the patient if they have had serotonin syndrome in the past.
  • Low sodium levels in the blood, as this may occur as a result of taking Sertraline Medical Valley. The patient should also inform their doctor if they are taking blood pressure medications, as they can also change sodium levels in the blood.
  • Older adults - these patients may be more susceptible to low sodium levels in the blood (see above).
  • Liver disease - the doctor may decide to reduce the dose of Sertraline Medical Valley.
  • Diabetes - Sertraline Medical Valley may change blood sugar levels, so a change in the dosage of antidiabetic medications may be necessary.
  • Bleeding disorders in the past (tendency to bruise) or if the patient is pregnant (see "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility") or has taken blood-thinning medications in the past [e.g. acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or warfarin] or medications that may increase the risk of bleeding.
  • Age under 18. Sertraline Medical Valley should only be used in children and adolescents aged 6-17 years with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Patients being treated for this condition should be closely monitored by their doctor (see below - Children and adolescents).

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a condition where the patient experiences recurring thoughts (obsessions) that cause repetitive behaviors (compulsive actions).
The doctor should discuss the best way to stop treatment with the patient.

  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
  • Eye diseases, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye).
  • If the patient has been informed of a heart defect based on an electrocardiogram (ECG) known as a prolonged QT interval.
  • Heart disease, low potassium or magnesium levels, a prolonged QT interval in any of the patient's relatives, slow heart rate, and concurrent use of medications that prolong the QT interval.

Psychomotor restlessness/Akathisia:
Sertraline use has been associated with the occurrence of a state characterized by psychomotor restlessness and a compulsion to move - often with an inability to sit or stand still (akathisia). This condition usually occurs within the first few weeks of treatment. Increasing the dose of the medicine may be harmful, so if the patient experiences such symptoms, they should tell their doctor.
Withdrawal symptoms:
After stopping treatment, side effects often occur, especially if treatment is stopped suddenly (see section 3 "Stopping Sertraline Medical Valley" and section 4 "Possible side effects"). The risk of withdrawal symptoms depends on the duration of treatment, dosage, and rate of dose reduction. These symptoms are usually mild or moderate, but in some patients, they can be severe.
They usually occur within the first few weeks after stopping treatment. They usually resolve on their own within two weeks, but in some patients, they can persist for longer (for 2-3 months or longer). If the patient decides to stop treatment with sertraline, it is recommended to gradually reduce the dose over several weeks or months, and the patient should discuss the best way to stop treatment with their doctor.
Suicidal thoughts, worsening of depression or anxiety
Patients with depression or anxiety disorders may sometimes have thoughts of self-harm or suicide. Such symptoms or behavior may worsen at the beginning of treatment with antidepressant medications, as these medications usually start working after two weeks, sometimes later.
Suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or suicidal behavior are more likely if:

  • The patient has had suicidal thoughts or self-harm in the past.
  • The patient is a young adult; clinical trial data indicate an increased risk of suicidal behavior in people under 25 years of age with mental disorders who are being treated with antidepressant medications.

If the patient experiences suicidal thoughts or self-harm, they should contact their doctor or go to the hospital immediately.
It may be helpful to inform relatives or friends about the depression or anxiety disorder and ask them to read this leaflet. The patient may ask relatives or friends for help and ask them to inform them if they notice that the depression or anxiety has worsened or if there are worrying changes in behavior.
Sexual dysfunction:
Medicines like Sertraline Medical Valley (SSRIs) may cause symptoms of sexual dysfunction (see section 4). In some cases, these symptoms have persisted after stopping treatment.

Children and adolescents under 18 years of age

Essentially, sertraline should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, except for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In patients under 18 years of age, there is an increased risk of side effects such as suicidal attempts, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts (suicidal thoughts) and hostility (mainly aggressive, defiant, and angry behavior), during treatment with medicines from this group.
However, the doctor may decide to prescribe Sertraline Medical Valley to a patient under 18 years of age if it is in the patient's best interest. If the doctor prescribes Sertraline Medical Valley to a patient under 18 years of age and the child's caregiver wants to discuss it with them, they should contact the doctor. Moreover, if any of the above symptoms occur or worsen while taking Sertraline Medical Valley, the caregiver should inform the doctor. In a long-term observational study lasting three years with over 900 children aged 6-16 years, the safety of long-term use of sertraline was evaluated in terms of its effect on growth, maturation, learning (cognitive function), and behavior. Overall, the study results showed that children treated with sertraline developed normally, except for a small increase in body weight in children treated with a higher dose.

Sertraline Medical Valley and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take, including those available without a prescription.
Some medicines may affect the way Sertraline Medical Valley works or Sertraline Medical Valley may reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
Taking Sertraline Medical Valley at the same time as the following medicines may cause serious side effects:

  • Medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs, e.g. moclobemide, used to treat depression, selegiline, used to treat Parkinson's disease, the antibiotic linezolid, and methylene blue, used to treat high methemoglobin levels in the blood). The patient should not take Sertraline Medical Valley at the same time as these medicines.
  • Medicines used to treat mental disorders, such as psychoses (pimozide). The patient should not take Sertraline Medical Valley at the same time as pimozide.

The patient should inform their doctor if they are taking any of the following medicines:

  • Medicines containing amphetamine derivatives (used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), excessive sleepiness, and obesity).
  • Herbal medicines containing St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum). The effect of St. John's Wort may persist for 1-2 weeks.
  • Products containing the amino acid tryptophan.
  • Medicines used to treat severe or chronic pain (opioids, e.g. tramadol, fentanyl).
  • Medicines used in anesthesia (e.g. fentanyl, mivacurium, and suxamethonium).
  • Medicines used to treat migraines (e.g. sumatriptan).
  • Medicines that prevent blood clotting (warfarin).
  • Medicines used to treat pain and/or joint inflammation (e.g. metamizole, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), e.g. ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)).
  • Sedatives (diazepam).
  • Diuretics ("water pills").
  • Medicines used to treat epilepsy (phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine).

  • Other medicines used to treat depression (e.g. amitriptyline, nortriptyline, nefazodone, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine).
  • Medicines used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders (such as perphenazine, levomepromazine, and olanzapine).
  • Medicines used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, or to regulate heart rate and rhythm (such as verapamil, diltiazem, flecainide, propafenone).
  • Medicines used to treat bacterial infections (such as rifampicin, clarithromycin, telithromycin, erythromycin).
  • Medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole).
  • Medicines used to treat HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C (protease inhibitors, such as ritonavir, telaprevir).
  • Medicines used to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery or chemotherapy (aprepitant).
  • Medicines known to increase the risk of changes in the electrical activity of the heart (e.g. certain antipsychotic and antibiotic medications).

Sertraline Medical Valley with food, drink, and alcohol

The patient should not drink alcohol while taking Sertraline Medical Valley.
Sertraline should not be taken at the same time as grapefruit juice, as it may increase the level of sertraline in the body.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
The safety of sertraline in pregnant women has not been fully established. Sertraline can be used in pregnant women only if the doctor considers that the benefits of the medicine outweigh the potential risks to the unborn child.
Taking Sertraline Medical Valley at the end of pregnancy may increase the risk of severe bleeding from the vagina, which can occur shortly after delivery, especially if the patient has a history of bleeding disorders. If the patient is taking Sertraline Medical Valley, they should inform their doctor or midwife so that they can provide the patient with appropriate advice.
Medicines like Sertraline Medical Valley, taken by pregnant women, especially during the last three months, may increase the risk of a serious disease in the newborn called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), which causes rapid breathing and blue discoloration of the skin. These symptoms usually appear within the first day of life. If such symptoms occur, the patient should contact the midwife and/or doctor immediately.
Newborns may also experience other symptoms, which usually appear within the first 24 hours after birth. These symptoms include:

  • breathing difficulties,
  • blue discoloration of the skin or too hot or too cold skin,
  • blue lips,
  • vomiting or problems with sucking,
  • excessive tiredness, difficulty sleeping, or constant crying,
  • increased or decreased muscle tone,
  • shivering, muscle spasms, or seizures,
  • increased reflexes,
  • restlessness,
  • low blood sugar.

If the newborn experiences any of these symptoms or if their condition is worrying, the patient should contact the doctor or midwife, who will be able to provide advice.
There is evidence that sertraline passes into human milk. The medicine can be used in breastfeeding women if the doctor considers that the benefits of the medicine outweigh the potential risks to the baby.
In animal studies, some medicines similar to sertraline have been shown to decrease sperm quality. This could theoretically affect fertility, although no effect on fertility has been observed in humans so far.

Driving and using machines

Psychotropic medicines, such as sertraline, can affect driving or operating machinery. The patient should wait until they know how the medicine affects them before performing these activities.

Sertraline Medical Valley contains sodium

The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per coated tablet, which means that the medicine is considered "sodium-free".
