Product Overview

SertaRAAY Tablet is a medicine that is used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin, a natural chemical in the brain that plays an important role in mood, emotions, and behavior.

SertaRAAY Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day to help you remember. Treatment for depression and OCD often takes several weeks before you start to feel the full benefit, so it is important to keep taking the medicine regularly and not stop suddenly, even if you feel better.

Stopping the medicine too quickly may cause withdrawal symptoms or make your condition return. For the best results, combine the treatment with healthy habits such as regular sleep, exercise, and support from family, friends, or counseling if recommended.

Some common side effects of SertaRAAY Tablet include nausea, indigestion, loss of appetite, increased sweating, tremors, insomnia (difficulty in sleeping), and diarrhea. Sexual side effects like decreased sexual drive, delayed ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction may also be seen. Let your doctor know straight away if you develop any sudden worsening of mood or any thoughts about harming yourself.

Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you have epilepsy (seizure disorder or fits), diabetes, liver or kidney disease, heart problems, or glaucoma. These may affect your treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. Some other medicines may affect the way it works, especially other antidepressants and medicines called MAO inhibitors. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe.
