Eight important things you need to know about Sertraline

■    Sertraline treats depression. Like all medicines it can have unwanted effects. It is therefore important that you and your doctor weigh up the benefits of treatment against the possible unwanted effects, before starting treatment.

■    Sertraline should not be used to treat depression in children and adolescents under 18.

See section 2, Use in Children and adolescents under 18.

■    Sertraline won't work straight away. Some people taking antidepressants feel worse before feeling better. Your doctor should see you regularly during your course of treatment. Tell your doctor if you haven't started feeling better.

■    Some people who are depressed or anxious think of harming or killing themselves. If you start to feel worse, or think of harming or killing yourself, see your doctor or go to a hospital straight away.

■    Don't stop taking Sertraline without talking to your doctor. If you stop taking Sertraline suddenly or miss a dose, you may get withdrawal effects. See section 3, How to take Sertraline.

■    If you feel restless and feel like you can't sit or stand still, tell your doctor. Increasing the dose of Sertraline may make these feelings worse.

■    Taking some other medicines with Sertraline can cause problems. You may need to talk to your doctor. See section 2, Other medicines and Sertaline.

■    If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, talk to your doctor. See section 2, Pregnancy and breastfeeding..

^ What Sertraline is and what it is used for

Sertraline belongs to a group of medicines known as Selective

Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor (SSRIs). It is used to treat

depression and/or anxiety disorders.

Sertraline is used to treat:

■    Depression and prevention of recurrence of depression (in adults).

■    Panic disorder (in adults).

■    Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) (in adults and children and adolescents aged 6-17 years

old). Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder with symptoms like unwanted, unpleasant thought, image or being constantly troubled by persistent ideas (obsessions) that make you carry out repetitive rituals (compulsions).

■    Social anxiety disorder (in adults).

■    Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (in adults).

What you need to know before you take Sertraline

Do not take Sertraline:

■    if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to sertraline or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (see Section 6 “Contents of the pack and other information”)

■    you are taking medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs - for depression or Parkinson's disease) or have taken them at any time within the last 14 days. If you stop treatment with Sertraline, you must wait at least 7 days before starting treatment with a MAOI (see Section 2 “Other medicines and Sertraline”)

■    if you are being treated with linezolid, methylene blue (for specific bacterial infections) and there is no possibility for close observation and blood pressure monitoring by your doctor

■    if you are taking pimozide (for psychiatric disorders)

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor before taking Sertraline:

■    if you are a child or adolescent under 18 years old. Sertraline should only be used to treat children

and adolescents aged 6-17 years old, suffering from

obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). If

you are being treated for this disorder, your doctor will want

to monitor you closely (see below-

Use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age).

■    if you have or have previously had thoughts of harming or killing yourself (see below- Thoughts of suicide/suicide attempts and worsening of your depression).

■    if you are taking other medicines for depression e.g. fluoxetine, St. John's Wort (herbal medicine for depression), tryptophan (for insomnia), fenfluramine (an appetite suppressant), dextromethorphan (for cough), pethidine or tramadol (for severe pain) (see Section 2 “Other medicines and Sertraline”)

■    if you have a history of mania (feeling elated or overexcited, which causes unusual behaviour). If you feel you are developing the symptoms of mania, treatment should be stopped. Contact your doctor

■    if you have epilepsy. In the event of seizures the treatment should be stopped. Contact your doctor immediately.

■    if you are having electric shock treatment (ECT)

■    if you have diabetes, as Sertraline can affect the control of your blood sugar levels with insulin and/or tablets. The dose of these medications may have to be adjusted.

■    if you have low sodium levels in your blood (hyponatraemia), or you are at risk of developing it e.g. due to treatment with diuretic medicines, you are elderly or have liver problems (For symptoms, see Section 4 “Possible Side Effects”)

■    if you have suffered from bleeding disorders or have been taking medicines that cause an increased risk of bleeding, e.g. medicines to thin the blood (anticoagulants), some medicines used to treat mental disorders (atypical antipsychotics and phenothiazines, most tricyclic antidepressants), medicines for pain and inflammation (NSAIDs) or aspirin (see Section 2 “Other medicines and Sertraline”)

■    if you have recently had a heart attack or have an unstable heart disorder

■    if you are elderly, as you may be more likely to have side effects

■    if you have schizophrenia

■    if you have severely impaired liver or kidney function

■    if you have a history of bleeding disturbances, e.g. bleeding in the stomach or intestine

■    If you have angle-closure glaucoma or history of glaucoma (increased fluid pressure in the eye) (sertraline may have an effect on pupil size resulting in dilation)

Thoughts of suicide/suicide attempts and worsening of your depression

If you are depressed you can sometimes have thoughts of harming or killing yourself. These may be increased when first starting antidepressants, since these medicines all take time to work, usually about two weeks but sometimes longer.

You may be more likely to think like this:

■    If you have previously had thoughts about killing or harming yourself

■    If you are a young adult. Information from clinical trials has shown an increase risk of suicidal behaviour in adults aged less than 25 years with psychiatric conditions who were treated with an antidepressant

If you have thoughts of harming or killing yourself at any time, contact your doctor or go to a hospital straight away.

You may find it helpful to tell a relative or close friend that you are depressed, and ask them to read this leaflet. You might ask them to tell you if they think your depression is getting worse, or if they are worried about changes in your behaviour.

Restlessness/inability to sit or stand still

Sertraline can cause restlessness, the need to move often and the inability to sit or stand still.

This is most likely to occur in the first few weeks of treatment. If you think you have these symptoms you should talk to your doctor as soon as possible.

Serotonergic Syndrome or Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome Contact your doctor if you develop symptoms such as high fever, muscle twitching, confusion and anxiety. These may be signs of a condition known as 'Serotonergic Syndrome' or 'Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome'.

This is more likely to occur if you are also taking

SSRIs, including triptans, MAOIs e.g. moclobemide, linezolid

and methylene blue, or antipsychotic and opiate medicines.

(see Section 2 'Other medicines and Sertraline').

Treatment with Sertraline might need to be stopped.

Withdrawal symptoms when stopping treatment with Sertraline

When you stop taking Sertraline, it is common to experience withdrawal symptoms, especially if treatment is stopped suddenly. When stopping treatment, the dose should be reduced gradually (see section 3 'If you stop taking Sertraline' and section 4 'Possible withdrawal effects when stopping treatment with Sertraline').

Use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age

Sertraline should not normally be used for children and adolescents under 18 years, except for patients with obsessive compulsive disorder aged 6-17 years old. Clinical trials have shown that patients under 18, treated with Sertraline, have an increased risk of side-effects such as suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts and hostility (predominantly aggression, oppositional behaviour and anger). Also the long-term safety effects concerning growth, maturation and cognitive and behavioural development of Sertraline in this age group are not yet known. However, your doctor may prescribe Sertraline for patients under 18 if it is thought to be in their best interests. If you want to discuss this, please go back to your doctor. You should also inform your doctor if any of the side effects listed above develop or become worse.

Other medicines and Sertraline

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription. This includes herbal medicines. Medicines which may affect or be affected by Sertraline.

■    MAOIs, e.g. moclobemide (to treat depression) and selegiline (to treat Parkinson's disease), the antibiotic linezolid and methylene blue (to treat high levels of methaemoglobin in the blood). (see Sections "Do not take Sertraline"

■    Pimozide (to treat psychoses)

Talk to your doctor if you are taking the following medicines:

■    Interference with urine screening tests False-positive urine immunoassay screening tests for benzodiazepines have been reported in patients taking sertraline.False-positive test results may be expected for several days following discontinuation of sertraline therapy. Confirmatory tests, such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, will distinguish sertraline from benzodiazepines.

■    Serotonergic medicines such as tryptophan (to aid sleep), fenfluramin (an appetite suppressant), dextromethorphan (to treat cough), pethidine and tramadol (to treat severe pain) (see Section "Warnings and precautions" )

aprepitant used to prevent nausea and vomiting that can be caused by chemotherapy treatment for cancer

■    Verapamil and diltiazem use to treat heart conditions (antiarrhythmics)

The following medicines increase the risk of haemorrhages:

■    Blood-thinning medicines e.g. warfarin and ticlopidine

■    Aspirin and other pain-relieving medicines of the NSAID type (non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs) e.g. ibuprofen

■    Phenothiazines e.g. perphenazine and thioridazine and other medicines for psychoses

■    Tricyclic antidepressants (to treat depression) e.g. clomipramine and imipramine

Your doctor may need to monitor you more carefully and adjust the dose of the above mentioned medicines as appropriate.

Sertraline with food and drink and alcohol

■    These tablets can be taken with or without food and with sufficient amount of fluid..

■    Drinking alcohol should be avoided if you are being treated with Sertraline.

■    Sertraline must not be taken with grapefruit juice, as this may increase the level of Sertraline in your body

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility

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

Pregnancy

Do not take Sertraline if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. The safety of sertraline has not fully been established in pregnant women. Sertraline should only be given to pregnant women if the doctor considers that the benefit for the mother exceeds any possible risk to the foetus.

Make sure your midwife and/or doctor know you are on Sertraline. When taken during pregnancy, particularly in the last 3 months of pregnancy, medicines like Sertraline may increase the risk of a serious condition in babies, called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the new born (PPHN), making the baby breathe faster and appear bluish. In addition, so called serotonergic effects or withdrawal symptoms may occur in babies whose mothers had been on sertraline during pregnancy, particularly in the last 3 months of pregnancy. The following symptoms may occur in the newborn: difficulty in breathing, temporary interruption in breathing, bluish skin, convulsions, being too hot or too cold, difficulty in feeding, vomiting, low level of sugar in the blood, high or low blood pressure, abnormally increased reflexes, tremor, extreme nervousness or nervous shaking, irritability, lethargy, constant crying, abnormal drowsiness, difficulty in sleeping. These symptoms usually begin during the first 24 hours after the baby is born. If this happens to your baby you should contact your midwife and/or doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Sertraline passes into breast milk in small amounts and may affect breast-feeding infants. Do not take Sertraline while breast-feeding unless your doctor has told you to.

Fertility: Some medicines like sertraline may reduce the quality of sperm in animal studies.

Theoretically, this could affect fertility, but impact on human fertility has not been observed as yet.

Driving and using machines

In some people Sertraline can cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision or fainting. If you have these side effects do not drive or use machinery. You should be careful, until you know how you react to Sertraline treatment.
