Sertraline functions by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the central nervous system, which elevates the mood and decreases the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Its effect on serotonin levels makes it effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions. It has a favorable pharmacokinetic profile with once-daily dosing due to its relatively long half-life.

Description

Zoloft, with the generic name sertraline, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), and anxiety disorders—including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). SSRIs like Zoloft work by increasing serotonin levels, a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps maintain mental balance. This increase can help improve mood, sleep, and appetite and may decrease anxiety, fear, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks.
