Medical Description
Setmax 100 mg tablet is an antidepressant used to treat major depressive disorders (depression). It has been found beneficial in relieving symptoms of anxiety illnesses like OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and panic disorders. It has also been used to treat symptoms of PMMD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).
Setmax 100 mg tablet has Sertraline as its active ingredient, which belongs to a class of medicines called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). It increases the levels of a natural chemical messenger(serotonin) in the brain, thereby improving your mood, relieving anxiety and increasing your energy level. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterised by excessive thoughts leading to repetitive behaviour. A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear even when there is no apparent cause or real danger. Setmax 100 mg tablet is a prescription medicine. The dose and duration of Setmax 100 mg tablet are decided by your doctor after he has confirmed that you are suffering from any of the above-mentioned illnesses.
The common side effects of the tablet are nausea, diarrhoea (loose stools), decreased appetite, dyspepsia (indigestion), tremors, decreased libido and ejaculation problems. Do not stop the medicine abruptly or skip the doses. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or a lactating mother.
