How Does It Work?

Interactions with other medicines

• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (they increase serotonin levels) must not be used with inosert, as both cause serotonin levels to shoot up.
• Pimozide also increases serotonin levels, so it must be used with caution if you are on sertraline.

Interactions with food items

• No specific food needs to be avoided. Try to follow a healthy schedule, drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, and have fruits and vegetables regularly.
