1. What Besitran is and what it is used for

Besitran contains sertraline as the active substance. Sertraline belongs to a group of medicines known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs); these medicines are used to treat depression and/or anxiety disorders.

Besitran can be used to treat:

Depression and prevention of recurrence of depression (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 illness with symptoms such as feelings of sadness, inability to sleep well, or to enjoy life as you used to.

OCD and panic disorders are anxiety-related conditions with symptoms such as persistent worry about recurring thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive rituals (compulsions).

PTSD is a disorder that may occur following a severely traumatic emotional experience and has some symptoms similar to depression and anxiety. Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) is an anxiety-related illness. It is characterized by intense anxiety or distress in social situations (for example: talking to strangers, speaking in public, eating or drinking in front of others, or worrying about behaving in an embarrassing way).

Your doctor has determined that this medicine is appropriate for treating your condition.

If you are unsure why you have been prescribed Besitran, you should consult your doctor.

2. What you need to know before taking Besitran

Do not take Besitran:

If you are allergic to sertraline or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
If you are taking or have recently taken medicines known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), such as selegiline or moclobemide, or other medicines similar to MAOIs (such as linezolid). If you stop treatment with 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 another medicine called pimozide (a medicine used to treat mental disorders such as psychosis).

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Besitran.

Medicines are not always suitable for everyone. Before starting treatment with Besitran, tell your doctor if you have or have previously 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 bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) or schizophrenia. If you experience a manic episode, contact your doctor immediately.
If you have had or currently have thoughts of harming yourself or of suicide (see below under "Suicidal thoughts and worsening of depression or anxiety disorder").
If you have Serotonin Syndrome. This syndrome may rarely occur when taking certain medicines together with sertraline. (For symptoms, see section 4. Possible side effects.) Your doctor will determine if you have previously experienced this syndrome.
If you have low sodium levels in your blood, as this may occur as a result of treatment with Besitran. You should also inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines for high blood pressure, as these may also affect blood sodium levels.
If you are elderly, as you may be at increased risk of low blood sodium levels (see previous point).
If you have liver disease; your doctor may decide that you should take a lower dose of Besitran.
If you have diabetes; Besitran may affect 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 (tendency to bruise easily), or if you are pregnant (see section 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. Besitran should only be used to treat children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). If you are being treated for this condition, your doctor will monitor you closely (see below under "Children and adolescents").
If you are receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
If you have eye disorders, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased intraocular pressure).
If you have been told you have an abnormality on the heart tracing obtained from an electrocardiogram (ECG), known as QT interval prolongation.
If you have heart disease, low potassium or magnesium levels, a family history of QTc prolongation, slow heart rate, or are taking concomitantly medicines that prolong the QTc interval.

Restlessness/Akathisia:

The use of sertraline has been associated with unpleasant restlessness and an urge to move, often accompanied by an inability to sit or stand still (akathisia). This occurs more frequently during the first weeks of treatment. Increasing the 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 Besitran and section 4. Possible side effects). The risk of experiencing withdrawal symptoms depends on the duration of treatment, the dose, and the rate at which the dose is reduced. Generally, these symptoms are mild or moderate. However, in some patients they may be severe. These symptoms usually appear during the first few days after stopping treatment. In general, these symptoms resolve on their own and usually disappear within two weeks. In some patients, they may 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 discontinue treatment.

Suicidal thoughts and worsening of depression or anxiety disorder:

If you are depressed and/or have anxiety disorders, you may sometimes have thoughts of harming yourself or of suicide. This risk may increase at the beginning of treatment with antidepressants, because all these medicines take time to work—usually about two weeks, but sometimes longer.

This is more likely if:

You have previously had thoughts of suicide or self-harm.
You are a young adult. Clinical trial data show an increased risk of suicidal behaviour in psychiatric patients under 25 years of age treated with an antidepressant.

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

It may be helpful for you to explain to a close family member or friend that you are depressed or have an anxiety disorder, and ask them to read this leaflet. You may also ask them to inform you if they think your depression or anxiety is worsening, or if they are concerned about changes in your behaviour.

Sexual problems:

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

Children and adolescents:

Normally, sertraline should not be used to treat children and adolescents under 18 years of age, except in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Patients under 18 years of age have a higher risk of adverse effects such as suicide attempts, thoughts of self-harm or suicide (suicidal ideation), and hostility (mainly aggression, confrontational behaviour, and anger reactions) when taking this class of medicines. Nevertheless, your doctor may decide to prescribe Besitran to a patient under 18 years if they consider it to be in the patient’s best interest. If your doctor has prescribed Besitran to you and you are under 18 years of age and wish to discuss this decision, please speak to your doctor again. You should inform your doctor if any of the symptoms listed above appear or worsen while you are taking Besitran. The long-term safety effects of Besitran on growth, maturation, learning (cognitive development), and behavioural development were evaluated in a long-term study involving more than 900 children aged 6 to 16 years monitored over a 3-year period. Overall, the study results showed that children treated with sertraline developed normally, except for a slight increase in weight gain among those treated with a higher dose.

Other medicines and Besitran:

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

Some medicines may affect how Besitran works, or Besitran itself may reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.

Using Besitran together with the following medicines may cause serious adverse effects:

Medicines known as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), such as moclobemide (used to treat depression), selegiline (used to treat Parkinson’s disease), the antibiotic linezolid, and methylene blue (used to treat high levels of methaemoglobin in the blood). Do not use Besitran with these medicines.
Medicines used to treat mental disorders such as psychosis (pimozide). Do not use Besitran with pimozide.

Inform 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 may last 1–2 weeks.
Products containing the amino acid tryptophan.
Medicines used to treat severe or chronic pain (opioids, e.g., tramadol, fentanyl).
Medicines used in anaesthesia (e.g., fentanyl, mivacurium, and suxamethonium).
Medicines used to treat migraines (e.g., sumatriptan).
Medicines that reduce blood clotting (warfarin).
Medicines used to treat pain/arthritis [e.g., metamizole, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)].
Sedatives (diazepam).
Diuretics.
Medicines used to treat epilepsy (phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine).

Medicines used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, or to regulate heart rate and rhythm (such as verapamil, diltiazem, flecainide, 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 used to treat HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C (protease inhibitors such as ritonavir, telaprevir).
Medicines used to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery or chemotherapy (aprepitant).
Medicines known to increase the risk of changes in the heart’s electrical activity (e.g., certain antipsychotics and antibiotics).

Taking Besitran with food, drinks, and alcohol:

Besitran tablets can be taken with or without food.

Alcohol intake should be avoided while you are being treated with Besitran.

Grapefruit juice should not be consumed with sertraline, as it may increase sertraline levels in your body.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

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

If you take Besitran in the late stages 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 be informed that you are taking Besitran so they can advise you appropriately. When taken during pregnancy, especially during the last three months, medicines like Besitran may increase the risk of a serious condition in newborns called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), which causes the baby to breathe faster and appear bluish. These symptoms usually begin within the first 24 hours after birth. If this occurs in your baby, contact your midwife and/or doctor immediately.

Your newborn baby may experience other conditions, which usually appear within the first 24 hours after birth. Symptoms include:

Difficulty breathing,
Bluish or too hot or cold skin,
Bluish lips,
Vomiting or feeding problems,
Excessive tiredness, inability to sleep, or excessive crying,
Muscle stiffness or decreased muscle tone,
Tremors, restlessness, or seizures,
Increased reflex responses,
Irritability,
Low blood sugar.

If your baby shows any of these symptoms at birth, or if you are concerned about your baby’s health,

consult your doctor or midwife for advice.

Evidence indicates that sertraline passes into breast milk. Therefore, sertraline should only be used in breastfeeding women if your doctor considers that the benefit outweighs any possible risk to the infant.

Animal studies have shown that some medicines like sertraline may reduce sperm quality. This could theoretically affect fertility; however, the impact on human fertility has not yet been determined.

Driving and using machines:

Psychotropic medicines such as sertraline may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Therefore, do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how this medicine affects your ability to perform these activities.

Besitran contains sodium:

This medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per tablet; hence, it is essentially "sodium-free".
