Sertraline Oral

In Depth

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you also take drugs that cause drowsiness such as: certain antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine), anti-seizure drugs (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin), medicine for sleep or anxiety (e.g., alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, narcotic pain relievers (e.g., codeine, meperidine), psychiatric medicines (e.g., chlorpromazine, risperidone, thioridazine).

Check the labels on all your medicines (e.g., cough-and-cold products) because they may contain drowsiness-causing ingredients, pain relievers/fever reducers (NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen) or the cough suppressant dextromethorphan. Ask your pharmacist about the safe use of those products.

Low-dose aspirin, as prescribed by your doctor for specific medical reasons such as heart attack or stroke prevention (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams per day), should be continued. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
