Inosert 100 MG Description
Inosert 100 mg tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat depression, panic attacks, anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. Inosert 100 mg tablet c
ontains 100 mg of sertraline as an active ingredient. Sertraline belongs to an essential class of antidepressants known as SSRIs (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Depression is a serious mental disorder in which what a person thinks, feels, and behaves is negatively affected and compromises the patient's quality of life and his family. Inosert 100 mg works by increasing the levels of an important chemical messenger in the brain, which helps the person feel better and uplifted. Panic disorder is characterised by unexpected and sudden episodes of extreme fear, worry and anxiety. Inosert 100 mg tablet works by calming down and making the person feel relaxed with the help of inhibition of serotonin reuptake. Serotonin governs how a person feels and behaves, which is why sometimes it is also called a happy chemical. The side effects of the Inosert 100 mg tablet are diarrhoea, dizziness, drowsiness, sleeplessness, tremors, headache, loss of appetite, dry mouth, delayed ejaculation, and decreased libido.
