1. What Sertagen is and what it is used for
Sertagen contains the active substance sertraline. Sertraline belongs to a group of medicines known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These medicines are used in the treatment of depressive and/or anxiety disorders.
Sertagen may 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 children and adolescents aged 6–17 years).
Depression is an illness characterized by symptoms such as feelings of sadness, difficulty sleeping, or inability to experience joy in life.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and panic disorder are anxiety-related conditions characterized by persistent feelings of anxiety due to intrusive thoughts (obsessions), which lead to repetitive rituals (compulsive behaviours).
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that may occur after a severe emotional shock or traumatic experience and is characterized by symptoms similar to those of depression and anxiety.
Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) is characterized by intense fear or anxiety in social situations (such as talking to strangers, speaking in front of a group, eating or drinking in front of others, or worrying about potentially embarrassing behaviour).
Your doctor has decided that this medicine is appropriate for treating your condition.
If you are unsure why you are taking Sertagen, please consult your doctor.
If there is no improvement after taking Sertagen, or if you feel worse, you should contact your doctor.
2. Important information before using Sertagen
When not to use Sertagen:
- if the patient is allergic to sertraline or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
- if the patient is currently taking or has recently taken monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO inhibitors, e.g. selegiline, moclobemide) or linezolid. (See section "Sertagen with other medicines"). At least one week must elapse after stopping sertraline before starting treatment with an MAO inhibitor. At least two weeks must elapse after stopping treatment with an MAO inhibitor before starting sertraline treatment
- if the patient is taking pimozide (a medicine used to treat psychiatric disorders such as psychosis)
Warnings and precautions
Before starting treatment with Sertagen, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist.
Medicines are not suitable for everyone. Tell your doctor before taking Sertagen if the patient currently has or has previously had any of the following conditions:
- Serotonin Syndrome or Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (life-threatening conditions). These syndromes may rarely occur in patients taking other medicines at the same time as sertraline (see section "Sertagen with other medicines"). (Symptoms, see section 4. "Possible side effects"). Your doctor should ask whether you have previously experienced these syndromes
- Low blood sodium levels, which may occur as a result of taking Sertagen. You should also inform your doctor if you are taking medicines used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), as these medicines may also affect blood sodium levels
- Exercise caution if the patient is elderly or severely dehydrated (e.g. due to vomiting or severe diarrhoea), as they may be more susceptible to reduced blood sodium levels (see above)
- Liver disease; your doctor may decide to reduce the dose of Sertagen
- Diabetes; Sertagen may affect blood glucose levels, so a change in the dosage of antidiabetic medicines may be necessary
- Epilepsy or history of seizures. If a seizure occurs, contact your doctor immediately
- Previous history of bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) or schizophrenia. If a manic episode occurs, contact your doctor immediately
- Current or previous thoughts of self-harm or suicide (see below: "Suicidal thoughts, worsening depression or anxiety")
- Bleeding disorders or previous use of blood-thinning medicines (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or warfarin), or medicines that may increase the risk of bleeding, or if the patient is pregnant (see "Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility")
- Children or adolescents under 18 years of age. In children aged 6 to 17 years, Sertagen may be used only for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Patients being treated for this condition should be closely monitored by a doctor (see: "Children and adolescents", below)
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in progress
- Patients with a history of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye)
- Low blood potassium levels in the patient, family history of sudden death or cardiac disorders, other cardiac disorders, or use of medicines affecting heart rhythm. In such cases, the risk of developing cardiac rhythm disturbances (prolonged QT interval, torsades de pointes ventricular tachycardia) increases.
- Acute or chronic pain or other conditions treated with opioid medicines. Taking these medicines together with Sertagen may lead to serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition (see section "Sertagen with other medicines").
Use of Sertagen may affect the result of a urine screening test.
Psychomotor agitation/Akathisia
Use of sertraline has been associated with the development of psychomotor agitation and an urge to move, often with an inability to sit still or remain motionless (akathisia). This condition usually occurs within the first few weeks of treatment.
Increasing the dose of the medicine may be harmful in patients experiencing such symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms
Withdrawal symptoms often occur after stopping treatment, especially if treatment is stopped abruptly (see section 3 "Stopping Sertagen" and section 4 "Possible side effects"). The risk of withdrawal symptoms depends on the duration of treatment, dose, and speed of dose reduction. Generally, these symptoms are mild or moderate in intensity. However, in some patients, they may be severe. They usually appear within the first few weeks after stopping treatment and typically resolve spontaneously within 2 weeks, although in some patients they may persist longer (for 2–3 months or more).
If a decision is made to discontinue treatment with Sertagen, a gradual reduction of the dose over several weeks or months is recommended, and the best way to stop treatment should always be discussed with your doctor.
Suicidal thoughts, worsening depression or anxiety
People with depression or anxiety disorders may sometimes have thoughts of self-harm or suicide. These symptoms or behaviours may worsen at the beginning of treatment with antidepressant medicines, as these medicines usually take about 2 weeks, sometimes longer, to start working.
This may be more likely in:
- Patients who have previously experienced thoughts of self-harm or suicide
- Young adult patients. Clinical trial data show an increased risk of suicidal behaviour in individuals under 25 years of age with psychiatric disorders who were treated with antidepressant medicines
If the patient experiences thoughts of self-harm or suicide, contact a doctor immediately
or go to hospital.
It may be helpful to inform family members or friends about the depression or anxiety disorder and ask them to read this leaflet. The patient may ask them to inform him or her if they notice worsening depression or anxiety or concerning changes in behaviour.
Medicines such as Sertagen (so-called SSRIs) may cause symptoms of sexual dysfunction (see section 4). In some cases, these symptoms persisted after stopping treatment.
Children and adolescents
Sertagen should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, except in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. It should also be emphasized that patients under 18 years of age taking medicines of this class are at increased risk of adverse effects such as suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts, and hostility (particularly aggression, defiant behaviour, and manifestations of anger). Nevertheless, a doctor may prescribe Sertagen to patients under 18 years of age if he or she considers it to be in their best interest. If the doctor has prescribed Sertagen to a patient under 18 years of age and the patient's parents have any doubts, they should consult the prescribing doctor. If any of the above-mentioned symptoms develop or worsen in patients under 18 years of age taking Sertagen, inform your doctor. Furthermore, there are currently no data on the long-term safety of Sertagen in this age group regarding growth, puberty, cognitive development, and behavioural development.
Sertagen with other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently or recently taken by the patient, as well as any medicines the patient plans to take.
Some medicines may affect how Sertagen works, or Sertagen may reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
Taking Sertagen together with the following medicines may cause serious
side effects:
- Medicines that are monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), e.g. moclobemide (used to treat depression), selegiline (used to treat Parkinson's disease), the antibiotic linezolid, or methylene blue. Do not take Sertagen together with MAO inhibitors.
- Pimozide, a medicine used to treat psychiatric disorders. Do not take Sertagen together with pimozide.
- Opioid medicines used to treat acute or chronic pain (e.g. buprenorphine) and opioid receptor antagonists that block the effects of opioids (e.g. naloxone). Do not take Sertagen together with opioids or opioid receptor antagonists. These medicines may interact with Sertagen and cause symptoms such as involuntary, rhythmic muscle contractions, including those affecting eye movements, agitation, hallucinations, coma, excessive sweating, tremor, increased reflexes, increased muscle tension, body temperature above 38°C. If the patient experiences such symptoms, contact a doctor.
The patient should inform the doctor or pharmacist if taking any of the following medicines:
- Medicines containing amphetamine derivatives (used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, and obesity)
- Herbal medicines containing St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum). The effect of St John's wort may last for 1–2 weeks
- Products containing the amino acid tryptophan
- Medicines used for anaesthesia or for treating chronic, severe pain (mivacurium, suxamethonium, and opioid medicines such as fentanyl)
- Medicines used to treat severe pain (tramadol)
- Medicines used to treat migraine (e.g. sumatriptan)
- Medicines that prevent blood clotting (warfarin, ticlopidine)
- Medicines used to treat pain/joint inflammation (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), e.g. ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin))
- Metamizole, a medicine used to treat pain and fever
- Diuretic medicines
- Medicines used to treat epilepsy (phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine)
- Medicines used to treat diabetes (tolbutamide)
- Medicines used to treat excess stomach acid, peptic ulcer disease, and heartburn (cimetidine, omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole)
- Lithium, a medicine used to treat mania and depression
- Other medicines used to treat depression (e.g. amitriptyline, nortriptyline, desipramine, nefazodone, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine)
- Medicines used to treat schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders (such as perphenazine, levomepromazine, and olanzapine)
- Medicines used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain, or to regulate heart rate and rhythm (e.g. flecainide, propafenone, verapamil, and diltiazem)
- Medicines used to treat HIV/AIDS infection and hepatitis C (protease inhibitors such as ritonavir, telaprevir)
- Medicines used to treat fungal infections (such as fluconazole, ketoconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole)
- Antibiotics (e.g. erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin)
- Aprepitant, a medicine used to treat nausea and vomiting
- Medicines used to treat tuberculosis (rifampicin)
- Medicines affecting heart rhythm (e.g. certain antipsychotics such as haloperidol or antibiotics such as levofloxacin)
Sertagen, food and alcohol
Do not consume alcohol during treatment with Sertagen. Sertagen should not be taken with grapefruit juice, as this may increase the level of sertraline in the blood.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, suspects she may be pregnant, or is planning to have a child, she should consult her doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
The safety of sertraline use in pregnant women has not been fully established. The medicine may be used in pregnant women only if, in the doctor's opinion, the benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risks to the foetus. Women of childbearing potential taking sertraline should use an effective method of contraception.
Inform your midwife and (or) doctor that you are taking Sertagen. Medicines such as Sertagen taken during pregnancy, especially during the last three months, may increase the risk of a serious condition in newborns called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), causing rapid breathing and cyanosis (bluish skin). These symptoms usually occur within 24 hours after birth. If they occur in the baby, contact your midwife and (or) doctor immediately.
Other complications may also occur in the newborn, which usually appear within the first 24 hours after birth. Symptoms include:
- breathing difficulties
- cold or hot skin, bluish skin
- blue lips
- vomiting or feeding problems
- excessive tiredness, difficulty sleeping, or constant crying
- muscle stiffness or floppiness
- tremor, muscle twitches, or seizures
- increased reflexes
- irritability
- low blood sugar levels
If any of these symptoms occur in the baby after birth or if the baby's condition is concerning, seek medical advice from a doctor or midwife.
Taking Sertagen towards the end of pregnancy may increase the risk of serious vaginal bleeding shortly after delivery, especially if the patient has a history of bleeding disorders. If the patient is taking Sertagen, she should inform her doctor or midwife so they can provide appropriate advice.
There is evidence that sertraline passes into human milk. The medicine may be used in breastfeeding women if, in the doctor's opinion, the benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risks to the infant.
Animal studies have shown that some medicines similar to sertraline may reduce semen quality. This could theoretically affect fertility, although no effect on human fertility has been observed to date.
Driving and operating machinery
Psychotropic medicines such as sertraline may affect the ability to drive or operate machinery. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how the medicine affects your ability to perform these activities.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per tablet, meaning the medicine is considered "sodium-free".

If you experience any of these or other adverse effects after stopping Sertagen, consult your doctor.
If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
4. Possible adverse reactions
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause adverse reactions, although they do not occur in everyone.
You should inform your doctor immediately if:
Any of the following symptoms occur in the patient after taking this medicine (because
they may be serious).
Uncommon (may affect 1 in 100 people):
- seizures

- blood in stool, tarry stools
- unexpected and atypical (e.g. very strong) vaginal bleeding
- bleeding disorders (e.g. bleeding from the stomach – which may look like coffee grounds)
- inability to pass urine
Rare (may affect 1 in 1000 people):
- allergic reaction or allergy, which may include symptoms such as itchy, raised skin rash (urticaria), difficulty breathing, wheezing or sudden swelling of the eyelids, face or lips
- heart attack
- loss of consciousness (coma)
- severe stomach and abdominal pain, bloating and high fever. This may indicate diverticulitis, an inflammation or infection of pouches in the intestinal lining. Presence of fresh blood in stool (hematochezia)
- disturbances in blood sugar control (diabetes)
- glaucoma (increased pressure in the eyeball), which may cause severe eye pain, redness of the eye, or "halo" or "blurred" vision
- very slow breathing
- severe muscle pain, weakness or swelling (due to muscle breakdown – rhabdomyolysis)
- severe skin rash causing blistering (blisters may appear in the mouth, on the tongue or in the genital area). These may be symptoms of a condition called Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). In such cases, the doctor will discontinue treatment
- agitation, confusion, diarrhoea, high temperature and blood pressure, excessive muscle stiffness, sweating and increased heart rate. These are symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome or Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS). In rare cases, these syndromes may occur when the patient is taking other medicines at the same time as sertraline.
