If you take Sertraline, check your medication before you take it.
Shine has been made aware that there is a precautionary recall for the antidepressant medication, Sertraline. Dr Alison Cave, MHRA Chief Safety Officer, said:
“If you have been prescribed Sertraline 100mg tablets and have received batch number V2500425, please check the carton contains the right medication. You can find the batch number and expiry date printed on the side of the outer packaging.
“If the blister strips inside the carton are labelled Citalopram 40mg, please contact your pharmacy as soon as possible. If they are labelled Sertraline 100mg, no further action is needed.”
“Patients who have accidentally taken citalopram instead of - or as well as - sertraline, may experience some heightened serotonergic side effects. These can include nausea, headache, sleep changes, and mild anxiety.”

If you're worried, the MHRA is advising to seek medical advice immediately:
"Patients who believe they have already taken any Citalopram 40mg tablets by mistake or are experiencing side effects, are advised to seek medical advice immediately. "
