Sertima 25 mg | Sertraline | for Depression & Anxiety Treatment

Introduction of Sertima 25 mg

Sertima 25 mg is a low-dose antidepressant used to treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It contains Sertraline Hydrochloride, a widely prescribed Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) that works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a mood-regulating neurotransmitter, in the brain.
