Hi
Zosert 50 mg contains Sertraline 50 mg. Its major mode of action is inhibition of serotonin reuptake by the pre synaptic nerve endings. To make it simple, it just makes more serotonin available at nerve terminas which then acts to elevate your mood. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which makes you feel good. So, if you are depressive or suffering from anxiety, obsession compulsion disorder, your doctor may prescribe this to you so that level of serotonin may increase at nerve terminals whi...more

It is never recommended to continue any medications in pregnancy if not absolutely required, as it can harm the baby. However, if the situation demands it it can be prescribed.

A medication needs to be given a period of 4 weeks to assess its success. I suggest you visit your psychiatrist after 2 weeks and with your consent, he/she will d...more

My father is 58 years old suffering from depression, for past 6-7 years & he is depressed due to my sister marriage. After treatment and medicines he become fit and fine. Later 1-2 year ago he becomes more active, aggressive and energetic than before, this behaviour remains for 1+ years. From last 5-6 months he again slowly gets into depression and becomes less active, does not talk much, keep tensed. Doctor prescribed half tablet of gatomir 15 (mirtazapine) at night and 1 tablet of zotral 50 (sertraline) at morning for 15 days. However 7+ days are past but he is not eating properly and we does not see much improvement. Can you please explain is it normal while taking anti depression medicines, and is this medicine is ok? Can we wait for some more time for improvement or we contact our doctor to change medicines?

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, delayed ejaculation is often a side effect of ssri or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like fluoxetine (flunil) and sertraline (zosert). Change of medications will solve his problem. Do not stop the medications suddenly, it requires tapering down gradually and gradual changeover to other group. Consult psychiatrist for this process.

- Zosert and Trazalon are both antidepressants but chemically they belong to different class. Zosert is an SSRI . Trazalon is more of a serotonin modulator.
- Sometimes low dose Trazalon can be used to manage sleep proble...more
