Zosert 100 MG Description
Zosert 100mg Tablet is a prescription medication that is used for treating various mental conditions like Major depressive disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), panic disorders (sudden or
unexpected attacks of extreme fear and worry) and other mental illnesses. It is an antidepressant class of medicine. Depression is a mental condition that causes persistent feelings of sadness, mood and behaviour changes, anger, loneliness etc. In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), patients experience repeated unwanted thoughts or sensations (obsessions) or the urge to do something over and over again (compulsions). Zosert 100mg Tablet contains sertraline as its active ingredient. Sertraline increases the amount of certain chemical messenger(serotonin) in the brain. This medicine relaxes the abnormally excitable nerves in the brain and improves the patient’s mood and behaviour. Do not change the Zosert 100mg Tablet dosage or stop using it abruptly without consulting your doctor. It may lead to unwanted withdrawal symptoms, such as restlessness, palpitations, sleep disturbances, anxiety, etc.
