Active substance : Sertraline

Pharmacodynamics:
Sertraline - antidepressant, a powerful specific inhibitor of the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) neurons. He has very little effect on the reuptake of noradrenaline and dopamine. At therapeutic doses, sertraline blocks uptake of serotonin in human platelets. He has no stimulating, sedative or anticholinergic effects. Due to the selective inhibition of 5-HT capture, sertraline does not enhance adrenergic activity. Sertraline has no affinity for muscarinic (cholinergic), serotonergic, dopaminergic, adrenergic, histaminergic, GABA or benzodiazepine receptors.
Sertraline does not cause drug dependence, and weight gain during chronic administration.
