Daxid 50mg Tab (Sertraline) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, in the brain. This helps regulate mood, reduce anxiety, and improve other symptoms associated with the conditions it treats.
Store sertraline tablets at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C). Protect from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of unused medication properly.
Dosage varies depending on the condition being treated and individual patient response. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
Sertraline is typically taken once daily, with or without food.
Do not stop taking sertraline suddenly without consulting your doctor; this can lead to withdrawal symptoms.
