Nothing to addBy the Layer Nutrition editorial team · How the atlas classifies the 664 molecules
What this medicine is for
Sertraline belongs to the category “antidepressant (SSRI)”. Antidepressants act on the chemical messengers of the brain; their effect sets in gradually, over several weeks.
In the case of Sertraline, this means: Treats depression and certain anxiety disorders. It is most often a maintenance treatment, taken at regular times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on the day.
Under which brands it is found
Sertraline is part of about 11 presentations listed in France. It comes under various trade names and as generics.

Generics and the original brand are equivalent for the active substance; only the appearance, the name or the excipients may differ.
Do you need a supplement? No.
For Sertraline, we offer no supplement. No nutritional supplementation is seriously justified as an addition to this treatment, and we would rather write that than invent a need. Our range is limited to five classes of everyday medicines for which a targeted intake makes sense; outside of those, we do not sell for the sake of selling, and that is what gives weight to our five products.
