1. What Sertraline Aurovitas is and what it is used for

Sertraline Aurovitas contains sertraline as the active ingredient. Sertraline belongs to a group of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs); these medicines are used to treat depression and/or anxiety disorders.

Sertraline can be used to treat:

  • Depression and prevention of depression relapse (in adults).
  • Social anxiety disorder (in adults).
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (in adults).
  • Panic disorder (in adults).
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) (in adults and in children and adolescents aged 6-17 years).

Depression is a clinical condition with symptoms such as feelings of sadness, inability to sleep well or to enjoy life as you used to.

OCD and anxiety disorders are anxiety-related conditions with symptoms such as being constantly worried about recurring ideas (obsessions) that lead to repetitive rituals (compulsions).

PTSD is a disorder that can occur after a highly traumatic emotional experience, and has some symptoms similar to depression and anxiety. Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) is an anxiety-related condition. It is characterized by intense anxiety or distress in social situations (e.g., talking to strangers, public speaking, eating or drinking in front of others, or worrying about behaving in a shameful way).

Your doctor has considered that this medicine is suitable for treating your condition.

If you are not sure why you have been prescribed sertraline, you should ask your doctor.

2. What you need to know before you take Sertraline Aurovitas

Do not take Sertraline Aurovitas

  • If you are allergic to sertraline or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you are taking or have taken medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs, such as selegiline, moclobemide) or other medicines similar to MAOIs (such as linezolid). If you stop taking sertraline, you must wait at least one week before starting treatment with an MAOI. After stopping treatment with an MAOI, you must wait at least two weeks before starting treatment with sertraline.
  • If you are taking a medicine called pimozide (a medicine used to treat mental disorders such as psychosis).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment with Sertraline Aurovitas.

Medicines are not always suitable for everyone. Before starting treatment with sertraline, tell your doctor if you have or have had any of the following conditions:

  • If you have epilepsy (seizures) or a history of seizures. If you have a seizure, contact your doctor immediately.
  • If you have manic-depressive illness (bipolar disorder) or schizophrenia. If you have a manic episode, contact your doctor immediately.
  • If you have, or have had, thoughts of harming yourself or suicidal thoughts (see below suicidal thoughts and worsening of your depression or anxiety disorder).
  • If you have serotonin syndrome. This syndrome can occur rarely when taking certain medicines at the same time as sertraline (for symptoms, see section 4. Possible side effects). Your doctor will indicate if you have had this syndrome before.
  • If you are taking medicines containing buprenorphine. The use of these medicines with sertraline can cause serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition (see "Other medicines and Sertraline Aurovitas").
  • If you have low sodium levels in your blood, as this condition may occur as a result of treatment with sertraline. You should also inform your doctor if you are taking any medicine for high blood pressure, as these medicines can also alter sodium levels in your blood.
  • If you are elderly, as you may be at greater risk of having low sodium levels in your blood (see above).
  • If you have liver disease; your doctor may consider that you should take a lower dose of sertraline.
  • If you have diabetes; sertraline may alter your blood sugar levels, so it may be necessary to adjust the dose of your diabetes medicines.
  • If you have a history of bleeding disorders (with a tendency to develop bruises) or if you are pregnant (see "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility") or have been taking medicines that reduce blood clotting (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or warfarin) or that may increase the risk of bleeding.
  • If you are a child or adolescent under 18 years of age. Sertraline should only be used to treat children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). If you are going to be treated for this disorder, your doctor will want to monitor you closely (see below Children and adolescents).
  • If you are receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
  • If you have eye problems, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye).
  • If you have been told that you have an abnormality in the graph of your heart that is obtained after an electrocardiogram (ECG), known as a prolonged QT interval.
  • If you have heart disease, have low potassium or magnesium levels, a family history of QT prolongation, a slow heart rate, or are taking concomitantly medicines that prolong the QT interval.

Sexual problems

Some medicines in the same group as sertraline (called SSRIs/SNRIs) may cause sexual dysfunction symptoms (see section 4). In some cases, these symptoms persist after stopping treatment.

Restlessness/Akathisia

The use of sertraline has been associated with an unpleasant feeling of restlessness and a need to move, often accompanied by an inability to sit or stand still (akathisia). This occurs more often during the first few weeks of treatment. An increase in dose may be harmful, so if you develop these symptoms, you should contact your doctor.

Withdrawal symptoms

Side effects related to stopping treatment (withdrawal symptoms) are common, particularly if treatment is stopped abruptly (see section 3 If you stop taking Sertraline Aurovitas and section 4 Possible side effects). The risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms depends on the duration of treatment, dose, and rate at which the dose is reduced. Generally, these symptoms are mild or moderate. However, in some patients, they can be severe. These symptoms usually occur during the first few days after stopping treatment. In general, these symptoms usually resolve on their own and normally resolve within two weeks. In some patients, they can last longer (2-3 months or more). It is recommended that when stopping treatment with sertraline, the dose should be gradually reduced over a period of several weeks or even months, and you should always agree with your doctor on the best way to stop treatment.

Suicidal thoughts and worsening of your depression or anxiety disorder

If you are depressed and/or have anxiety disorders, you may sometimes have thoughts of harming yourself or suicidal thoughts. These can increase at the start of treatment with antidepressants, as all these medicines take time to work, which is usually a few weeks, but sometimes can be longer.

This is more likely to happen

  • If you have previously had thoughts of suicide or self-harm.
  • If you are a young adult. There is information from clinical trials that shows an increased risk of suicidal behavior in adults under 25 years with psychiatric conditions who are being treated with any antidepressant.

If you have thoughts of harming yourself or suicidal thoughts at any time, contact your doctor or go to the hospital immediately.

It may be helpful for you to tell a relative or close friend that you are depressed or have an anxiety disorder, and ask them to read this leaflet. You can also ask them to tell you if they think your depression or anxiety is getting worse, or if they are worried about changes in your behavior.

Children and adolescents

Normally, sertraline should not be used in the treatment of children and adolescents under 18 years of age, except in the case of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Patients under 18 years of age have a greater risk of adverse effects such as suicidal attempts, thoughts of self-harm or suicide (suicidal ideas), and hostility (mainly aggression, confrontational behavior, and anger) when they are treated with this class of medicines. Nevertheless, your doctor may decide to prescribe sertraline to a patient under 18 years of age if they consider it is in the best interest of the patient. If your doctor has prescribed sertraline for you and you are under 18 years of age and wish to discuss this decision, consult your doctor. You should inform your doctor if any of the symptoms mentioned above appear or worsen when you are taking sertraline. The long-term effects of sertraline on growth, maturity, and learning (cognitive and behavioral development) were evaluated in a long-term study in over 900 children aged 6 to 16 years who were monitored for a period of 3 years. In general, the results of the study showed that children treated with sertraline developed normally, except for a slight increase in weight in those treated with a higher dose.

Other medicines and Sertraline Aurovitas

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

Some medicines can affect how sertraline works or sertraline can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines that you are taking at the same time.

The use of sertraline with the following medicines can cause serious side effects:

  • Medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), such as moclobemide (for depression), selegiline (for Parkinson's disease), the antibiotic linezolid, and methylthioninium chloride (methylene blue) (for high levels of methemoglobin in the blood). Do not take sertraline with these medicines.
  • Medicines for treating mental disorders such as psychosis (pimozide). Do not take sertraline with pimozide.

Tell your doctor if you are taking the following medicines:

  • Medicines containing amphetamines (used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity).
  • Herbal medicines containing St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum). The effects of St. John's Wort can last 1-2 weeks.
  • Products containing the amino acid tryptophan.
  • Medicines for treating severe or chronic pain (opioids, e.g., tramadol, fentanyl) and opioid dependence (medicines containing buprenorphine).
  • Medicines used in anesthesia (e.g., fentanyl, mivacurium, and suxamethonium).
  • Medicines for treating migraines (e.g., sumatriptan).
  • Medicines that reduce blood clotting (warfarin).
  • Medicines for treating pain/arthritis (e.g., metamizole, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)).
  • Sedatives (diazepam).
  • Diuretics (water pills).
  • Medicines for treating epilepsy (phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine).
  • Medicines for treating diabetes (tolbutamide).
  • Medicines for treating stomach acidity, ulcers, and heartburn (cimetidine, omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole).
  • Medicines for treating mania and depression (lithium).
  • Other medicines for treating depression (such as amitriptyline, nortriptyline, nefazodone, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine).
  • Medicines for treating schizophrenia and other mental disorders (such as perphenazine, levomepromazine, and olanzapine).
  • Medicines for treating high blood pressure, chest pain, or for regulating heart rate and rhythm (such as verapamil, diltiazem, flecainide, and 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 for treating HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C (protease inhibitors, such as ritonavir, telaprevir).
  • Medicines used to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery or chemotherapy (aprepitant).
  • Medicines that increase the risk of changes in heart electrical activity (e.g., some antipsychotics and antibiotics).
  • Metamizole, a medicine used to treat pain and fever.

Some medicines can increase the effects of sertraline and, in some cases, can cause very serious reactions. Do not take any other medicine while taking sertraline without consulting your doctor first, especially:

  • Medicines containing buprenorphine. These medicines can interact with sertraline, and you may experience symptoms such as involuntary muscle contractions, including muscles that control eye movement, agitation, hallucinations, coma, excessive sweating, tremors, exaggerated reflexes, increased muscle tension, body temperature above 38°C. Contact your doctor if you experience these symptoms.

Taking Sertraline Aurovitas with food, drinks, and alcohol

Sertraline tablets can be taken with or without food.

You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking sertraline.

You should not take sertraline in combination with grapefruit juice, as it can increase the levels of sertraline in your body.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

The safety of sertraline in pregnant women has not been fully established. If you are pregnant, sertraline will only be given to you if your doctor considers that the benefit to you outweighs any possible risk to the developing baby.

If you take sertraline during the late stage of pregnancy, there may be an increased risk of heavy vaginal bleeding shortly after delivery, especially if you have a history of bleeding disorders. Your doctor or midwife should know that you are taking sertraline so they can advise you. When taken during pregnancy, especially during the last 3 months, medicines like sertraline can increase the risk of a serious condition called persistent pulmonary hypertension in the newborn (PPHN), which makes the baby breathe faster and have a bluish appearance. These symptoms usually start within the first 24 hours after birth. If this happens to your baby, contact your midwife and/or doctor immediately.

Your newborn may also have other conditions, which usually start within the first 24 hours after birth. The symptoms include:

  • difficulty breathing.
  • bluish or too hot or cold skin.
  • bluish lips.
  • vomiting or difficulty feeding.
  • excessive tiredness, inability to sleep, or excessive crying.
  • stiffness or decreased muscle tone.
  • tremors, restlessness, or seizures.
  • increased reflexes.
  • irritability.
  • low blood sugar levels.

If your baby has any of these symptoms at birth, or if you are concerned about your baby's health, contact your doctor or midwife, who will advise you.

There are indications that sertraline passes into breast milk. Therefore, sertraline can only be used in breastfeeding women if the doctor considers that the benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the baby.

In animal studies, it has been seen that some medicines like sertraline may reduce sperm quality. This could theoretically affect fertility, but this impact on fertility has not been observed in humans yet.

Driving and using machines

Psychotropic medicines like sertraline can affect your ability to drive or use machines. Therefore, you should not drive or operate machinery until you know how this medicine affects your ability to perform these activities.

Sertraline Aurovitas contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per film-coated tablet; this is essentially "sodium-free".
