Is sertraline the same as Zoloft?

Answer 1

Zoloft is the product trade name of sertraline chemical compound.

Doctors in the US prescribe chemical compounds, so your prescription will read "sertraline".

To the contrary, doctors in the EU prescribe products, so your prescription will read "zoloft".

If you have no prescription and you ask your pharmacist just "sertraline" they may give you Zoloft (original drug, from the maker who initially hold the patent) or other other product that contain the same drug (called 'generics').

If you can afford the Zoloft (maker: Phizer) prefer it from generics. Although it is always the same drug, other inactive compounds of the drug may not be the same, so distribution in the body may not be exactly the same, affecting efficacy or clearout time.

Answer 2

Those medications are Non-controlled ones. I would say, Better you get the suggestion from your Doctor. Because none other than Doctor would know well about the medications. If the Doctor says okay, buy your Non-controlled medication at http://www.MEDonWeb.net

Answer 3

No - they are not dose equivalent per mg.
