Aug 26, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Concerning dose the usual dose begins by 50 mg once daily to be effective ,but as a gradual start the doctor prescribe it for 25 mg daily and after one week he raises it to 50 mg the duration of treatment depends on the symptoms and severity

Zoloft (Sertraline) and Prozac (Fluoxetine) both belong to the SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) group of antidepressants. The effect and working of most SSRI is fairly similar, but individual chemical composition of each drug determines which works best for a specific individual on specific symptoms. Prozac comes as a delayed release fluoxetine hydrochloride tablet or as ready-for-use liquid, while Zoloft is sertraline hydrochloride that comes as a coated tablet or as concentrated solution to be mixed with water.
