Sertraline 25mg Tablets – TESLIN 25
Sertraline is among the more selective SSRIs for the serotonin transporter, with comparatively low affinity for the histaminic, cholinergic and adrenergic receptors that produce sedation, dry mouth and cardiovascular effects with older antidepressants. That receptor profile is a large part of why it remains a first-line choice across a wider range of indications than most SSRIs. TESLIN 25 delivers 25mg per tablet, manufactured in a WHO-GMP certified unit, and is available across the full Sertraline range as TESLIN 25, TESLIN 50 and TESLIN 100.
Product Specifications
Brand Name: TESLIN 25 (also available as TESLIN 50 and TESLIN 100)
Composition: Sertraline 25 mg
Dosage Form: Tablet
Therapeutic Category: Neuropsychiatry, CNS
Manufacturing: WHO-GMP certified unit
Prescription Status: Schedule H
Storage: Store below 25°C, protect from light and moisture
Composition
Sertraline — 25 mg — Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI); increases serotonin availability at the synapse by blocking presynaptic reuptake
Mechanism of Action
Sertraline selectively blocks the reuptake of serotonin at the presynaptic neuron, increasing its availability in the synaptic cleft without the pronounced effect on norepinephrine or dopamine reuptake seen with some other antidepressant classes. Its comparatively minimal affinity for muscarinic, histaminic and alpha-adrenergic receptors means it produces less sedation, weight gain and anticholinergic burden than tricyclic antidepressants and some earlier SSRIs, which is a meaningful consideration in elderly patients and those on multiple concurrent medications.
The 25mg strength is used specifically as a starting dose — for patients beginning treatment, for those more sensitive to SSRI side effects, and in populations such as the elderly or those with hepatic impairment where a lower initiation dose is clinically preferred before titrating upward.
The TESLIN Strength Ladder
TESLIN 25, TESLIN 50 and TESLIN 100 together cover the full titration range a Sertraline course typically requires. A patient can be initiated on TESLIN 25, titrated to TESLIN 50 as the standard maintenance dose for most indications, and moved to TESLIN 100 where a higher therapeutic dose is clinically indicated — all within a single brand family, without the prescription needing to change hands as the dose changes.
Clinical Applications
- Major depressive disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Panic disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Social anxiety disorder
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder, as prescribed
Use, dose, and duration are determined by the prescribing psychiatrist or physician based on individual clinical assessment.
Prescriber Profile
Psychiatrists prescribe Sertraline across its full indication range, frequently starting at the 25mg dose in sensitive populations before titrating. General Physicians prescribe it within their scope for depression and anxiety presentations, referring for specialist management where indicated. Its broader indication profile relative to some other SSRIs means it is also encountered in OCD and PTSD management specifically.
Dosage and Administration
As prescribed by a Registered Medical Practitioner. This is a Schedule H drug — sale by retail is permitted only against the prescription of a Registered Medical Practitioner. Dose is typically titrated gradually under medical supervision, starting at 25mg or 50mg depending on indication and patient factors.
Safety Information
Sertraline should not be combined with MAOI antidepressants. It should not be stopped abruptly, as this can cause discontinuation symptoms — any change in dose should be physician-guided. As with all SSRIs, close monitoring is recommended in the early weeks of treatment, particularly in younger patients, for any worsening of mood or emergence of self-harm-related thoughts, and any such changes should be reported to the prescribing doctor immediately. Concurrent use with other serotonergic agents requires caution due to the risk of serotonin syndrome. Store below 25°C, protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
