ontains 100 mg of sertraline as an active ingredient. Sertraline belongs to an essential class of antidepressants known as SSRIs (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).

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.
