1. What Sertralina Krka is and what it is used for

The active substance in Sertralina Krka is sertraline. Sertraline belongs to a group of medicines called
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These medicines are used to treat
depression and (or) anxiety disorders.
Sertralina Krka 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, children and adolescents aged 6–17 years).

Depression is an illness characterised by symptoms such as sadness, difficulty sleeping or loss of enjoyment in life.
OCD and panic disorder are anxiety-related conditions, associated with persistent worry due to intrusive thoughts (obsessions), leading to repetitive rituals (compulsions).
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that may occur after a traumatic experience and is characterised by symptoms similar to depression and anxiety. Social anxiety disorder (social phobia) is an anxiety-related illness. It is characterised by intense fear or stress in social situations (such as talking to strangers, speaking in front of a group of people, eating or drinking in the presence of others, or worrying about potentially embarrassing behaviour).
Your doctor has decided that this medicine is suitable for treating your condition.
You should consult your doctor if you are unsure why you are taking Sertralina Krka.

2. Important information before using Sertralina Krka

When not to use Sertralina Krka

  • If the patient is allergic to sertraline or to 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 drugs similar to MAO inhibitors (e.g. linezolid). At least one week must elapse after stopping treatment with sertraline before starting treatment with an MAO inhibitor. At least two weeks must elapse after stopping treatment with an MAO inhibitor before starting treatment with sertraline.
  • If the patient is taking pimozide (a medicine used in psychiatric disorders such as psychosis).

Warnings and precautions
Before starting to take Sertralina Krka, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist.
Not every medicine is suitable for everyone. Tell your doctor before taking Sertralina Krka if you have or have previously had any of the following conditions:

  • Epilepsy (seizures) or a history of convulsive seizures. If a seizure occurs, contact your doctor immediately.
  • A history of bipolar affective disorder (manic-depressive illness) or schizophrenia. If a manic episode occurs, contact your doctor immediately.
  • Current or past thoughts of self-harm or suicide (see below – "Suicidal thoughts, worsening of depression or anxiety disorders").
  • Serotonin syndrome. In rare cases, this syndrome may occur in patients taking certain medicines at the same time as sertraline (symptoms, see section 4 "Possible side effects"). Your doctor should ask whether you have previously experienced serotonin syndrome.
  • Low sodium levels in the blood, which may occur as a result of treatment with Sertralina Krka. You should also inform your doctor if you are taking certain medicines used to treat high blood pressure, as these may also affect sodium levels in the blood.
  • Elderly patients; they may be more susceptible to reduced sodium levels in the blood (see above).
  • Liver disease; your doctor may decide to reduce the dose of Sertralina Krka.
  • Diabetes; Sertralina Krka may affect blood glucose levels, so dosage adjustments of antidiabetic medicines may be necessary.
  • 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").
  • Children or adolescents under 18 years of age. In children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years, Sertralina Krka may be used only for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Patients being treated for this condition should be closely monitored by their doctor (see below – "Children and adolescents").
  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
  • Eye problems, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased eye pressure).
  • Heart function abnormalities seen on ECG, referred to as prolonged QT interval.
  • Heart disease, low potassium or magnesium levels, prolonged QT interval in any family member, slow heart rate, and concomitant use of medicines causing QT prolongation.

Psychomotor agitation (akathisia)
Treatment with sertraline has been associated with a condition characterised by motor restlessness and a compelling need to move, often with an inability to sit still or remain motionless (akathisia). This condition usually occurs during the first weeks of treatment. Contact your doctor if the dose is increased, as this may be harmful in patients experiencing such symptoms.

Withdrawal symptoms
Unwanted effects (withdrawal symptoms) often occur after stopping treatment, especially if treatment is stopped abruptly (see section 3 "Stopping Sertralina Krka" and section 4 "Possible side effects"). The risk of withdrawal symptoms depends on the duration of treatment, dose, and speed of dose reduction. These symptoms are generally mild or moderate in intensity, but may be severe in some patients. They usually occur within the first few weeks after stopping treatment. They usually resolve spontaneously within 2 weeks, but may persist longer in some patients (for 2-3 months or longer).
If you decide to stop treatment with sertraline, it is recommended to gradually reduce the dose over several weeks or months and to consult your doctor about the best way to discontinue treatment.

Suicidal thoughts, worsening of depression or anxiety disorders
People with depression or anxiety disorders may sometimes have thoughts of self-harm or suicide. Such 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.
The likelihood of such thoughts is higher if:

  • the patient has previously had suicidal thoughts or self-harming behaviour;
  • the patient is a young adult; clinical trial data indicate an increased risk of suicidal behaviour in people under 25 years of age with psychiatric disorders who are being treated with antidepressant medicines. If the patient experiences suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm, contact a doctor immediately or go to hospital. It may be helpful to inform relatives or friends about the depression or anxiety disorder and ask them to read this leaflet. The patient may ask relatives or friends for help and ask them to inform him/her if they notice that depression or anxiety worsens or if there are worrying changes in behaviour.

Sexual dysfunction
Medicines such as Sertralina Krka (so-called SSRIs or SNRIs) may cause symptoms of sexual dysfunction (see section 4). In some cases, these symptoms may persist after stopping treatment.

Children and adolescents
Sertraline should generally not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, except in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In patients under 18 years of age, there is an increased risk of adverse effects such as suicide attempts, thoughts of self-harm or suicide (suicidal thoughts), and hostility (mainly aggressive, defiant behaviour and anger) when taking medicines from this group. However, your doctor may decide to prescribe Sertralina Krka to a patient under 18 years of age if it is in the patient's best interest. If your doctor prescribes Sertralina Krka to a patient under 18 years of age and the child's caregiver wishes to discuss this, contact the doctor. Furthermore, if any of the symptoms listed above appear or worsen during treatment with Sertralina Krka, inform your doctor.
In a long-term observational study lasting 3 years involving over 900 children aged 6 to 16 years, the long-term safety of Sertralina Krka was evaluated with regard to its effects on growth, maturation, learning (cognitive functions), and behaviour. Overall, study results showed that children treated with sertraline developed normally, except for a small increase in body weight in children treated with higher doses.

Sertralina Krka and other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines you plan to take.
Some medicines may affect how Sertralina Krka works, or Sertralina Krka may reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
Taking Sertralina Krka together with the following medicines may cause serious adverse effects:

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medicines, such as moclobemide (used to treat depression) and selegiline (used to treat Parkinson's disease), as well as the antibiotic linezolid and methylene blue (a substance used to treat high levels of methemoglobin in the blood). Sertralina Krka must not be taken at the same time as these medicines.
  • Medicines used to treat psychiatric disorders such as psychosis (pimozide). Sertralina Krka must not be taken at the same time as pimozide.

Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

Taking Sertralina Krka with food, drink and alcohol
Sertralina Krka can be taken with or without food.
Do not drink alcohol while taking Sertralina Krka.
Do not take Sertralina Krka with grapefruit juice, as this may lead to increased levels of sertraline in the body.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and effects on fertility
Pregnancy
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
The safety of using sertraline during pregnancy has not been fully established. Sertraline may be used in pregnant women only if, according to the doctor's assessment, the benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risk to the developing child.
Inform your doctor and (or) midwife that you are taking Sertralina Krka. Medicines such as Sertralina Krka, taken during pregnancy, particularly during the last three months of pregnancy, may increase the risk of serious complications in the newborn, known as persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), which is characterised by rapid breathing and cyanosis. These symptoms usually appear within the first day after birth. If such symptoms occur in the newborn, contact your doctor and (or) midwife immediately.
Other symptoms may also occur in the newborn, usually within the first day after birth. These symptoms include:

  • breathing difficulties,
  • blue skin, too low or too high body temperature,
  • blue lips,
  • vomiting or difficulty feeding,
  • excessive tiredness, insomnia or excessive crying,
  • muscle stiffness or floppiness,
  • tremors, shakiness or seizures,
  • increased reflexes,
  • irritability,
  • low blood sugar levels.

If any of these symptoms appear in the newborn or if you are concerned about the baby's health, contact your midwife or doctor.
Taking Sertralina Krka towards the end of pregnancy may increase the risk of serious vaginal bleeding occurring shortly after delivery, especially if the patient has a history of bleeding disorders. If you are taking Sertralina Krka, inform your doctor or midwife so they can provide appropriate advice.

Breastfeeding
There is evidence that sertraline is excreted in human milk. Sertralina Krka may be used in breastfeeding women if the doctor considers that the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the infant.

Fertility
Animal studies have shown that certain medicines such as sertraline may reduce semen quality. This effect may theoretically impair fertility, although no effect on fertility has been observed in humans to date.

Driving and using machines
Psychotropic medicines such as sertraline may affect the ability to drive and operate machinery. Wait before performing the above activities until you know how Sertralina Krka affects your ability to perform them.

Sertralina Krka contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per dose, i.e. this medicine is considered "sodium-free".
