Sertima 100 mg contains Sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat a variety of mental health conditions. It primarily affects neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly serotonin, and is used to balance mood and emotional responses.

Common Uses:

• Depression: Sertraline is commonly prescribed to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), improving mood, energy levels, and overall well-being.
• Anxiety Disorders: It is effective in treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), and panic disorder.
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Sertima helps reduce unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors in OCD.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Sertraline is one of the medications approved for the treatment of PTSD, helping reduce symptoms such as flashbacks and hypervigilance.
• Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): It is used to treat mood swings, irritability, and depression associated with PMDD.

How It Works:
Sertraline works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain that plays a key role in mood regulation. By blocking the reabsorption (reuptake) of serotonin into neurons, it allows more serotonin to remain available, which can improve mood and emotional balance.
