Can Serlan Be Taken Place Of Lustral?
Question: My pharmacist changed my Lustral for Serlan today due to shortage of Lustral. Are they similar tablets?
Brief Answer:
similar tablets
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Lustral is the trade name for sertraline.
Sertraline is also available under other names including serlin.
The manufacturer may vary but the essential active ingredients would be the same.
The metabolism ,dose and most common side effects would be the same.
Because the inactive ingredients may vary, there may be some differences in some aspects of the side effect profile.
