How Atralin works
Atralin is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a chemical messenger in the brain. This improves mood and physical symptoms of depression and also relieves symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and anxiety.

If you miss a dose of Atralin, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Contraindication
Sertraline is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Sertraline or any of the excipients of drug. Concurrent use or w/in 14 days of discontinuation of MAOIs (e.g. linezolid or IV methylene blue). Concomitant use w/ pimozide.
Mode of Action
Sertraline has a potent and selective inhibitory action on CNS neuronal reuptake of 5-HT resulting in increased 5-HT concentrations at the synaptic clefts, leading to sustained activity at the postsynaptic receptor sites and improvement of depression. Reduction of serotonin turnover (in brain) also contributes to its action. Its long half-life allows once daily admin.
Precaution
Patient w/ family history of bipolar disorder, mania or hypomania; previous seizure disorder or condition predisposing to seizures (e.g. alcoholism, brain damage); angle-closure glaucoma or history of glaucoma; risk factors for uric acid nephropathy, QTc prolongation. Patient w/ concurrent systemic illness (e.g. conditions that affect metabolism or haemodynamic process). Avoid abrupt withdrawal. Renal and hepatic impairment. Childn. Pregnancy and lactation. Monitoring Parameters Monitor BMI (longitudinal monitoring), height, wt, unusual behavioural changes, signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome.
Lactation
