Serquit 25mg Tab (Sertraline) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by increasing the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter, in the brain. Serotonin plays a crucial role in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and other functions. By blocking the reuptake of serotonin, sertraline helps to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other related disorders.
