Sertraline is one of the most widely prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a class that raises serotonin availability by blocking its reuptake into presynaptic neurons. The added serotonergic tone gradually lifts mood, eases anxiety, and improves sleep, with full benefit typically emerging only after several weeks of steady use. Its indications span major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder. A chlorinated small molecule (C17H17Cl2N) with a half-life of roughly 26 hours, it suits once-daily dosing and reaches steady state within about a week. The delayed onset reflects downstream neural adaptations rather than the immediate receptor effect, a pattern shared across antidepressants of this type. Sertraline is an approved first-line option for several mood and anxiety disorders.

One of the most widely prescribed antidepressants, this SSRI increases serotonin availability in the brain to lift mood, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep. It is used for depression, PTSD, OCD, panic disorder, and bipolar depression, typically taking several weeks to reach its full effect.

Major Sertraline + Tramadol

Sertraline and tramadol together significantly increase serotonergic tone, posing a clinically meaningful risk of serotonin syndrome.

Moderate Sertraline + Warfarin

Sertraline can modestly increase warfarin anticoagulation through weak CYP2C9 inhibition combined with SSRI-mediated platelet serotonin depletion.

Moderate Sertraline + Sumatriptan

Sertraline and sumatriptan may interact to increase serotonergic tone, raising the theoretical risk of serotonin syndrome.

Moderate Sertraline + Trazodone

Sertraline combined with trazodone may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome due to additive serotonergic effects.

Major Sertraline + Duloxetine

Combining duloxetine and sertraline, two serotonergic antidepressants, markedly increases the risk of serotonin syndrome without added efficacy.

Major Sertraline + Escitalopram

Co-prescribing two SSRIs leads to additive serotonin excess with no therapeutic benefit and high risk of serotonin syndrome.

Moderate Sertraline + Aspirin

The combination of aspirin and sertraline increases upper GI bleeding risk through synergistic antiplatelet and platelet serotonin depletion effects.

Moderate Sertraline + Fluconazole

Fluconazole inhibits CYP2C19 and CYP3A4, increasing sertraline plasma concentrations, which may enhance both therapeutic and adverse effects including QT prolongation.

Moderate Sertraline + Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen combined with SSRIs markedly increases the risk of GI bleeding through synergistic impairment of platelet function and gastric mucosal defense.

Moderate Sertraline + Lamotrigine

Sertraline may increase lamotrigine plasma concentrations by inhibiting its glucuronidation, potentially causing lamotrigine toxicity.

Moderate Sertraline + Levothyroxine

Sertraline can increase levothyroxine clearance, particularly in patients with pre-existing hypothyroidism, potentially necessitating levothyroxine dose increases.

Moderate Sertraline + Phenytoin

Phenytoin significantly reduces sertraline plasma concentrations via CYP enzyme induction, potentially causing antidepressant treatment failure.

Moderate Sertraline + Carbamazepine

Carbamazepine, a potent enzyme inducer, significantly reduces sertraline plasma concentrations, potentially impairing antidepressant efficacy.

Moderate Sertraline + Naproxen

Naproxen combined with sertraline increases the risk of upper GI bleeding through complementary impairment of platelet function and gastric mucosal defense.
