Zoloft

[Sertraline]

If you were prescribed ZOLOFT Oral Concentrate, you must mix it with another liquid before taking it.

Pour 4 oz. (1/2 cup) of any of the following liquids into a drinking glass: water, ginger ale, lemon/lime soda, lemonade or orange juice. Do not use any other liquids besides these. Draw up the proper amount of ZOLOFT Oral Concentrate into the special dropper that comes with the medicine. Squeeze the ZOLOFT Oral Concentrate out of the dropper into the drinking glass. Stir well. It is normal if a slight haze appears after mixing. Drink all the liquid as soon as you have mixed it. Do not mix it in advance. Since the dropper bulb for the liquid form of ZOLOFT is made from dry natural rubber, make sure to let your doctor know if you have had allergic reactions to latex.

Take ZOLOFT once a day in the morning or evening. You can take ZOLOFT with or without food. Try to take ZOLOFT at the same time every day.

Do not take an extra dose if you are having a bad day. ZOLOFT does not work right away. Do not stop taking ZOLOFT without talking to your doctor first.

Do not run out of ZOLOFT. Make sure you have your refill for ZOLOFT at home before you need it. Continue to take ZOLOFT even when you feel better for as long as your doctor says.

It may take several weeks before you start to feel better. Do not get discouraged. Keep taking ZOLOFT every day for as long as your doctor tells you to take it.

Like all medicines, ZOLOFT may cause side effects in some people. In clinical studies, few people had to stop taking ZOLOFT because of side effects. The most common ones are:
