What does it do?

Sertraline hydrochloride is an antidepressant from the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class. It is primarily used to treat depression and anxiety disorders, playing a role in regulating the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain.

Sertraline hydrochloride prevents the reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, thereby increasing serotonin levels. This results in improved mood and alleviation of anxiety symptoms.
