1. What Setaloft is and what it is used for

Setaloft 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 disorders and (or) anxiety disorders.
Setaloft may be used in the treatment of:

  • 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 in which the patient feels sadness, has difficulty sleeping, or is unable 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), leading to repetitive rituals (compulsions).
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that may occur following 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 stress in social situations (such as talking to strangers, speaking in front of a group, eating or drinking in the presence of others, or worrying about potentially embarrassing behavior).
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 Setaloft.

2. Important information before using Setaloft

When not to use Setaloft:

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

Warnings and precautions
Before starting Setaloft, discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist.
Medicines are not suitable for everyone. You should tell your doctor before taking Setaloft if the patient has or has previously had any of the following conditions:

  • Epilepsy or a history of seizures. If a seizure occurs, contact your doctor immediately.

  • A history of bipolar disorder (manic depression) or schizophrenia. If a manic episode occurs, contact your doctor immediately.

  • Current or past thoughts of self-harm or suicide (see below: “Suicidal thoughts and worsening of depression or anxiety disorders”).

  • Serotonin syndrome or neuroleptic malignant syndrome. These syndromes may rarely occur in patients taking other medicines at the same time as sertraline (symptoms, see section 4. “Possible side effects”). Your doctor should ask whether you have experienced such a condition in the past.

  • Low sodium levels in the blood, which may occur during treatment with Setaloft. You should also inform your doctor if you are taking medicines used to treat high blood pressure, as these may also affect blood sodium levels.

  • If the patient is elderly, as they may be more susceptible to reduced blood sodium levels (see above).

  • Liver disease; your doctor may decide to reduce the dose of Setaloft.

  • Diabetes; Setaloft may affect blood glucose levels, so dosage adjustments of antidiabetic medicines may be necessary.

  • A history of bleeding disorders (tendency to bruise easily) or if the patient is pregnant (see “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility”), and/or previous use of blood-thinning medicines (such as acetylsalicylic acid or warfarin) or medicines that may increase the risk of bleeding.

  • Children or adolescents under 18 years of age. Setaloft may be used in children aged 6 to 17 years only for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Patients being treated for this condition should be closely monitored by a doctor (see below: “Use in children and adolescents”).

  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

  • Eye problems, such as certain types of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye).

  • Sertraline may cause false positive results in urine screening tests for benzodiazepines. This effect may persist for several days after discontinuation of sertraline.

  • If the patient has been diagnosed with heart rhythm problems on ECG (electrocardiogram), known as prolonged QT interval.

  • If the patient has heart disease, low potassium or magnesium levels, a family history of prolonged QT interval, bradycardia, and is concurrently taking medicines that prolong the QT interval.

Psychomotor agitation/Akathisia
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. Contact your doctor if symptoms worsen when increasing the dose, as this may be harmful in patients experiencing such symptoms.

Withdrawal symptoms
Adverse effects (withdrawal symptoms) often occur after stopping treatment, especially if treatment is stopped abruptly (see section 3. “Stopping Setaloft” 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 usually mild or moderate in intensity. However, in some patients, they may be severe. They typically occur within the first few weeks after stopping treatment and usually resolve spontaneously within 2 weeks. However, in some patients, they may persist longer (for 2–3 months or more).
If treatment with sertraline is to be discontinued, it is recommended to gradually reduce the dose over several weeks or months, and to consult your doctor about the best way to stop treatment.

Suicidal thoughts, worsening of depression or anxiety disorders
Patients with depression and/or anxiety disorders may sometimes have thoughts of self-harm or suicide. These symptoms or behaviours may worsen at the beginning of treatment with antidepressants, as these medicines usually take 2 weeks or longer to start working.
This may be more likely in:

  • Patients who have previously had 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 treated with antidepressants. 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.

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

Children and adolescents
Setaloft should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age, except for 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 side effects such as suicide attempts, thoughts of self-harm or suicide (suicidal thoughts), and hostility (particularly aggression, defiant behaviour, and expressions of anger). Nevertheless, a doctor may prescribe Setaloft to patients under 18 years of age if they consider it to be in their best interest. If your doctor has prescribed Setaloft to a patient under 18 years of age and you have any doubts, please consult the prescribing doctor. Furthermore, if any of the symptoms listed above appear or worsen during treatment with Setaloft, 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 sertraline 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.

Setaloft with other medicines
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines the patient is currently taking or has recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
Some medicines may affect how Setaloft works, or Setaloft may reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.

Taking Setaloft 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, and methylene blue (used to treat high levels of methemoglobin in the blood). Do not take Setaloft together with these medicines.
  • Medicines used to treat psychiatric disorders (pimozide). Do not take Setaloft together with pimozide.

The patient should inform the doctor if they are taking the following medicines

  • Medicines containing amphetamines (used to treat symptoms of 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 to treat severe or chronic pain (opioids, such as tramadol, fentanyl).
  • Medicines used in anaesthesia (such as: fentanyl, mivacurium, and suxamethonium).
  • Medicines used to treat migraines (such as: sumatriptan).
  • Medicines that prevent blood clotting (warfarin).
  • Medicines used to treat joint pain/inflammation (such as metamizole, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), e.g. ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid).
  • Sedatives (diazepam).
  • Diuretics (so-called water tablets).
  • Medicines used to treat epilepsy (phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine).
  • Medicines used to treat diabetes (tolbutamide).
  • Medicines used to treat excessive stomach acid, peptic ulcer disease, and heartburn (cimetidine, omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole).
  • Medicines used to treat mania and depression (lithium).
  • Other medicines used to treat depression (e.g. amitriptyline, nortriptyline, 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 (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 infection (protease inhibitors, such as ritonavir, telaprevir).
  • Medicines used to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery or chemotherapy (aprepitant).
  • Antiplatelet medicines (ticlopidine).
  • Medicines that increase the risk of changes in the heart’s electrical activity (such as: antipsychotics and antibiotics).

Setaloft with food, drink and alcohol
Tablets can be taken with or without food.
Do not drink alcohol while taking Setaloft.
Do not take Setaloft with grapefruit juice, as this may increase the concentration of sertraline in the body.

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 developing child.
Taking Setaloft late in 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 Setaloft, she should inform her doctor or midwife so they can provide appropriate advice. Medicines such as Setaloft (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors - SSRIs), when taken by women during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, may increase the risk of a serious condition in the newborn called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), which causes rapid breathing and skin blueness in the baby. These symptoms usually occur within the first day of the baby’s life. If this happens, contact the midwife and/or doctor immediately.
The newborn of a patient taking Setaloft may also have other problems, which usually begin within 24 hours of birth. Symptoms include:

  • Breathing difficulties
  • Bluish skin or skin that is too hot or too cold
  • Bluish lips
  • Vomiting or feeding problems
  • Extreme tiredness, sleeping problems, constant crying
  • Muscle stiffness or floppiness
  • Tremors, shivers, or seizures
  • Increased reflexes
  • Irritability
  • Low blood sugar levels. If any symptoms occur in the patient’s newborn immediately after birth or if the patient is concerned about the baby’s health, she should contact a doctor or midwife for advice.

There is evidence that sertraline is excreted into human milk. The medicine may be used in women during breastfeeding if, in the doctor’s opinion, the benefits to the mother outweigh the potential risks to the child.
Animal studies have shown that some medicines, such as sertraline, may reduce sperm quality. This effect has not been observed in humans so far, although it is theoretically possible.

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 the patient’s ability to perform these activities.

Setaloft contains lactose and sodium
If the patient has been diagnosed with an intolerance to certain sugars, consult a doctor before taking this medicine.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per tablet, meaning the medicine is considered “sodium-free”.
